    Missed Shift??!?

    Nope, sorry. No grinding. Or dramatic music [emoji6] Just revving with no power like in neutral. Dennis. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    OEM Brakes vs. PowerStop vs ?

    I need to replace/turn my front rotors due to some wobbling and would rather just have a local shop replace everything with PowerStop as opposed to going all the way to the dealer. Are PowerStop actually a lot better than OEM Street Pack brakes? Is there a better 3rd party? Thanks! Dennis...

    Missed Shift??!?

    So after transmission service and much smoother shifting overall, I retested the original issue in the same place. Uphill toll road decent grade going 70ish, floor gas and transmission goes into neutral. I can slowly accelerate to full throttle but I can't just mash the pedal. Maybe the...

    Missed Shift??!?

    Thanks everyone for the truth info! Given my mileage, the constant 3rd gear thumps since purchase, and the relatively low $200 price to service in SoCal I decided not to make it an issue in the moment and had them do the service. It's a PIA for me to drop my car at my dealer and it includes...

    Missed Shift??!?

    Update! The dealer said they can't just check the fluid level so given I was at 60K miles I just had them do the service. Definitely shifts smoother and the 3rd gear thump is actually way less. Makes me wonder how filled the transmission fluid was from the factory? Of course the brakes...

    Missed Shift??!?

    So it happened again but now going straight and up a long hill and I was able to do it like 5 times in a row... Long uphill, 60 degrees outside, sport mode, around 75mph and hit the gas medium hard and the transmission goes into neutral? Same as above descriptions. No throttle response unless I...

    Backup Assist, Hill Start, Advance Trac, AWD Fault...

    I am at 55K miles on my 2020 Explorer ST and have been getting the Backup assist error for like a year. Occasional Hill Start and Advance Trac for months but usually went away after restarting. Then last week I got all of them every time AND the 4WD fault which put me into the sorta limp mode...

    2020 ST Fake Spare was at 7.5 psi

    Glad I could help! Mine was still 57 after 5 days. Well it was 60 but I tried to reach the valve while holding up a fully loaded tray and I lost some air... Also wonder if Ford sent a bunch out with minimal air?? Dennis. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    2020 ST Fake Spare was at 7.5 psi

    Ok was still at 57psi 2 days after filling. So either a super slow leak or was never filled... Dennis. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    2020 ST Fake Spare was at 7.5 psi

    Going on a long road trip to the Eclipse and figured I'd check my fake spare and it was at 7.5 psi. First time checking it in 4 years but I was still surprised it was so low. Never seen a spare lose so much air, or maybe it was never pumped up in the first place. I pumped it up but I guess I...

    Full Size Spare for a 2020ST 21" Street Pack

    Going on a long road trip to see the Solar Eclipse and this is my first SUV without a full size spare. Is an OEM wheel from eBay my best choice? Is there a good enough cheap wheel with all the same offset and everything I can get instead? Or can you talk me out of the need for a real spare...

    Throttle Lag

    There is a specific full stop turn from a side street onto PCH with a bit of upward slope where I can replicate the issue with traction control vs without. Your yield seems more like the other issue where sudden steering input and gas cause the lag for whatever likely safety reason. Do I miss...

    Throttle Lag

    I have both problems and for me these are separate issues when changing lanes quickly and acceleration at speed and starting a right turn with a bit of gas. I solve the right turn with gas by turning off the traction control. No need to go full accu-trak press and hold, just turning off the...

    How many miles did you put on your original breaks?

    Just had 50K service today and they marked my brakes as still green/50%+. Street Pack brakes and the wife says I always brake too hard (trail braking) Dennis. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    New SYNC Update 23188

    Noted! To clarify, the wifi download had started but I didn't want to wait so I plugged in the USB. It was acting super weird before any updates, I suppose because of increasing memory leak issues? Dennis. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    New SYNC Update 23188

    I was having increasingly worse map and lockup issues with 22521 and then the new 23188 started loading. I didn't want to wait for the wifi so I stuck a USB in and then it really locked up. Showing a full screen but with no touch screen reaction and staying up even with the car OFF. I pulled...

    Rear Cargo LED Upgrades?

    I just realized that I always need my flashlight to dig thru my cargo area... The current top and right side lights suck. Any thoughts? Bulb upgrades? Crazy hanging lightbar? Adjustable? Thanks! Dennis. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    Full Size Spare Location?

    Thoughts on where to put a full size spare? Will it fit in the same spot but just fill up the storage compartment? Ideas on where to get a single compatible 21" wheel? I suppose for a real road trip I can put it on a roof basket. I do carry a patch kit and compressor if I am lucky/unlucky...
