    2015 Explorer bump/harsh shift

    My 2011 had a terrible transmission bump. I traded it in and got a 2017. Now it has started with the same harsh bump at 6300 miles. It's exactly as described above (shifting at slow speeds from first to second). I am taking it in for service. From what I have read, it is a problem with the...

    How many people have had the airbag warning light activate

    I have had my 2011 in three times to fix it. It is back on again. I hate wasting my time taking it to the dealer. They are so incompetent.

    Pulsating Brakes - 2011 XLT

    2011 Brakes Pulsating I have a 2011 XLT with 32,000 miles on it. My brakes are pulsating, so I suspect I need new ones, along with rotors. I've seen the posts about free brake pads, but I am out of warrantee now. When I take it into the dealership for an estimate, what should I listen/look...

    Thumping noise in front end at low speeds...

    I remember lots of folks talking sometime back about a transmission bump moving forward at slow speeds. There is a TSB for it. Not sure where the link to the discussion is.

    '12 Ex needs brakes w/14K miles!?

    The brakes on my 11 Ex are pulsating too. Out of warrantee. How much should I expect to pay for rotor turning? I have less than 30K miles too.

    Pulsating Brakes - 2011 XLT

    This started a few months ago. Pulsating brakes while slowing to a stop. You can feel it in the brake pedal. Thoughts on what might be causing this - ABS issue? I would hate to think it's rotors already.

    Wipers stuck on

    I have a 2011 Explorer. My wipers are turned off on the handle, but they are going at the slowest intermittent speed and wont stop. They will only turn off when I turn the key off. What would be causing this?

    First Service: What should I do?

    I had the oil changed at 5,000 miles. Now it's a bit over 10,000, and I plan on taking it in for another oil change. What other minor things should I have done to keep it in good shape? Tire rotation? Wiper blades?

    Radio won't turn on

    I've had that happen to me a few times. I've fixed it by putting a CD in, then ejecting it. Radio comes on after that. Wierd.

    Change Oil Alert

    I had the oil changed at 5,000 miles. Now I'm at 7,500 miles, and a warning message light comes on whenever I start my car to "Change engine oil soon". Why?

    Seattle Ford Service

    I just talked to the service guy at Ford of Bellevue. It was like night and day compared to the donkeys at Bill Pierre Ford. They will even give me a car while they are working on mine. The guy was very professional, nice and articulate. He explained everything in detail and even told me...

    Seattle Ford Service

    I'll try that dealership, even though it's in Bellevue. I just can't stomach going to Bill Pierre Ford again.

    Seattle Ford Service

    Are there any decent Ford dealerships in Seattle that have a decent service departments? The one I go to is embarrassingly out of touch with modern customer service, they have a smelly waiting area, and their managers treat you like you couldn't possibly be informed. I had my car in for...
