    Moonroof Shade Breaks

    I know I am late responding to this but I would think most people just have not reported this problem as much. I had it happen 2 years ago to me and I finally had Ford look at it last week and they told me that the little plastic tab is part of the whole track assembly and the part is $2k plus...

    Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement

    There were no codes, the light just comes on and goes off. I will have to have the oil pressure checked, I was just hoping it is the easy fix, I had no issues until yesterday on my way to work when at the end of my trip it came on. After work I had forgotten about it and I drove home and again...

    Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement

    Hey Peter, yeah I might as well now, it would not be worth more than 1k to trade in and it drives great, I have about 190k kms on it now and the only large issue was that damn PTU. Well, that and the paint that started bubbling 1600km's after the warranty ended:( I keep it in great shape so I...

    Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement

My light came on yesterday, I changed the oil and filter but it still comes on, if I accelerate it goes...

    Water Leak

    For people who removed the roof racks, was it hard? I saw a video but the guy mentions there is a thin strip of metal that is clipped on and can easily be bent. I am a little worried about trying to take them off because of that....

    Ford offers free repairs to 1.4 Million Explorers - Exhaust

    I checked the myford site and it shows up on my Vin, they must have just thought it was not affecting Canada as it was probably not on my Vin when I asked 10 days ago. Thank you though Peter. I did not think you owned a Explorer anymore but I see in your signature you got a new one! Nice, I...

    PTU Problems

    So advance auto parts and other places have 2 PTU's list one for a little over a grand and one for 1200 or so. Both give back money if you return your old one I think 300 and 400 respectively. Midas quoted 1900...$1400 for the part and they did not mention the refund and just under 5 hours...

    List of Useful Threads Hood Paint bubble issue only

    I was just re-reading this thread and saw your post. I reported the same issue a year ago when I was at 37,500 Miles so 1500 over and they said they will not do anything unless it rusts through. Did they ever do anything for you? I agree with you that it is a weird spot for the paint to just...

    Failed water pump and engine fans

    Hey Peter, it's been a while.:) This is what my Service advisor just emailed me from Ford after I asked him what you had wrote. "The fan/module is an entire assembly from Ford you cannot replace one or the other. The test has not yielded any other results beyond power is going to the...
