    Cargo area, 3rd row seat back cracks.

    I need to replace mine too. Do you have power 3rd row or manual? Trying to figure out if I can replace myself and can’t find anything online showing how. The dealer wants $480! Thank you for any help you can provide!

    Pulsating Brakes - 2011 XLT

    I have the same issue on my 2011. Started a few months ago at approx 42k mi. I'll probably need new pads by year's end and I'll have the rotors resurfaced at that time and hope that clears up the problem.

    Hankook Optimo H246 warranty claim?

    Follow-up: As stated by a couple people above, Ford and Hankook both confirmed that the OEM tires do not carry a tread life warranty (just material defect). Oh well, it was worth a try to ask.

    Hankook Optimo H246 warranty claim?

    Has anyone here filed a warranty claim on the Hankook Optimo H246's prematurely wearing out? If so, did you file the claim with Ford or with Hankook? These tires have a 60,000 mile warranty. I have 30,000 miles on mine and two are at the wear indicator and the other 2 aren't far behind. I...

    Air Bag Light / Seat Belt Warning

    I have had my 2011 Explorer in twice for this issue. The first time it was a failure in the driver side seatbelt pretensioner. The second time it was a failure in the passenger side seatbelt pretensioner. In both cases the seatbelt pretensioners were replaced.

    2011 Explorer suspension creaking over speed bumps/humps *FIXED*

    On more than one occasion I have commented to the dealer about a creaking and/or rubbing sound from the front suspension when going over speed bumps and humps. On past visits it was dismissed as irreproducible but on my most recent visit it was confirmed AND fixed! Here is what they did...

    so why Wi-Fi?

    It probably wasn't the design intention but I can tell you a great use of in-car wifi if you have kids. There are a variety of games for the iPad and iPod Touch that support multiplayer modes over a LAN (i.e. Minecraft, Battleship, Scrabble, Real Racing, etc...). We run an in-car LAN using the...

    Transmission "bump" aka "hard shifting" TSB

    Our build date is 4/30/11 and we experienced the hard shifting issue when driving at slow speeds in our neighborhood. We have speed humps thru-out the neighborhood and when you would slow down to cross the hump and then put your foot back on the gas the transmission would slam so hard you...

    Clock has stopped working

    Yes, it has happened to me twice. Pulling the fuse to reset the system will make it return to normal... until it happens again.

    Windshield Sunshade for Explorer?

    I'm contemplating a CoverCraft UVS100 Heat Shield (model UV11172SV - which is custom patterned to fit the 2011+ Explorer) but I haven't purchased it yet so I cant offer any opinion. Also, it's not cheap. Approx $50. http://www.covercraft.com/uvs100.html

    Voice command stopped responding

    My 2011 Ex, running the 3.0.x MFT (dealer installed too), did the exact same thing several weeks ago. You would press the voice command button and the "listening" ear would appear in the lower left corner of the screen, but there would be no voice prompts, no "chime", AND the radio would *not*...

    how to leave keys in the car and use keyless entry

    I thought I had read somewhere if you left the Intelligent Access Key in the car and locked it using the [7/8] [9/0] key press method the Intelligent Access Key would be deactivated and could not start the car unless the passcode was entered on the keypad or another authorized Intelligent Access...

    Today was not a good day with nav under v2.11. On 3 of the 4 trips we took it had malfunctions. First trip of the day, we arrived at our destination, turned the car off and went in. When I came back out to the car 10 minutes later, even tho the car was off... the MFT screen was still on and...

    Wax & Cleaner Recommendations

    At the moment I am using Zaino Z-CS on the whole car - paint, trim, windows, and wheels. Like Klasse and Rejex, Z-CS is a polymer sealant, but easier to work with. Wipe it on... done. Z-CS also has UV inhibitors, so my hope is that this will also help prevent the black plastic parts from...

    Cleaning & Conditioner for Leather Seats

    Ugh, the stone leather seats in the Explorer have been a major point of stress since day-1. We had a dye-transfer stain on the side of the passenger seat that I believe occurred at the dealer when the car was being prepped. Tho admitting no fault, the dealer offered to have the stained area...
