...this is exactly where one dealer's body-shop said mine is leaking from... hence the two-week repair time. How kind of Ford to sell me a brand new vehicle with known problems. (It may not happen to every Explorer, but it seems to be common enough that it is certainly a manufacturing defect.)

Ford's customer service sucks. So my Explorer (still under original warranty) has the water leak into the headliner that runs down the rear seatbelt ... both sides. The ONE dealer that has been able to replicate the problem will not provide a replacement (rental) vehicle while they take 2 weeks...

The only seat options I can think of that would require wiring are for the airbag seatbelts and for the electric seat release (for access to the rear row.) The release would likely just be a simple 2-wire, but the airbag/belts would likely require more advanced communication...

I'd really like to see it support CarPlay from Apple (for those of us with iPhones anyhow).

It's YOUR car. If YOU want to lift it, then of course it's NOT wrong!!!! You'll always be able to find someone that'll tell you you're wrong... but it ain't THEIR car!

I know this is old, but I just LOVE that quote! I tell my kids (when they take off to go "play" in the Jeep)... 4WD doesn't mean you can't get stuck... it just means you CAN get stuck MUCH farther away from help! So far, the only time I've had to rescue them, I was able to get to them with...

Mine appeared locked a few times, went black a couple times for several minutes, radio came and went throughout the process... But the entire update only took about 30 minutes... If it's been black for over an hour, I'd be concerned.

VHR after updating his evening worked just fine.

It's like the monkeys and Shakespeare... eventually you're bound to see some wild puncture like that purely by chance. I'm sure you happened to run over the nail from just the right angle, at just the right speed, while the suspension was in just the right point of its travel, with exactly the...

When you say"computer"... Do you mean MFT? There is a new update for that within the last month or so... It involves a new Nav-card as well.. In MY case, it seems to have eliminated all my MFT problems... No more freezing up or black-screens.

I'm gonna stick to my guns saying the new Explorer is AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT VEHICLE. It's now a car instead of a truck. It went from a body-on-frame, solid-rear-axle, real 4WD truck... To a unibody, car chassis, AWD (instead of 4WD), that will never have the off-road capabilities of the older...

No ... starting in 2011 the Explorer is an entirely new car. It kept the same name, but NOTHING else about the vehicle is even vaguely related to the pre-2011 Explorers. So... it has had it's teething pains and such, but I think it's turning out to be a great car (but will never be modded for...

No argument from me...

I guarantee that happens! As a union member myself (not auto), when the workers are disgruntled, the only way they have of exerting influence on management is to screw with the operation. It's a bit of a "biting the hand that feeds you" scenario, but that's just the way it works. It's their...

Yes... most people get on thee forums to try to find "fixes" for problems... the people who are happy with the vehicles generally don't bother to post about that. So when you get online, all you hear about (mostly) are the problems... mostly affecting a very few vehicles. Me?... MFT was kinda...

Haven't experienced it... but I'm not sure the bottom of my thigh even extends out that far! With all the adjustments and the heating/cooling in the seats, I find them VERY comfortable. (and love having the memory tied to the MyKey ... it just sets itself to whoever is driving without me having...

yeah.. if you bought it new in the U.S., it came with 3 years of FREE roadside assistance... Ford will tow it to the nearest dealer on their dime. but... I'm sure glad nobody I knew "didn't allow" me to buy the Explorer... I LOVE it!.

If it's like all the other "badging" on the vehicle, it's also held on with double-sided tape.

yes... since the latest (3.5.1?) update, my Ex has not had ANY hiccups with the MFT ... prior to that it was nearly daily that it would lock-up or black-screen. Perhaps they've finally gotten to a stable (non-Beta) MFT system! :)

I have moisture in one... Noticed it the day after I bought it (new 2013). Haven't taken it in to them yet, I can't be bothered.... I'll have them replace it eventually, but I've got nearly 3 years of warranty yet... I can wait.

It doesn't take much to impress an Aggie!

PLEASE tell me you didn't get it from Planet! ;)

Just go to a dealer you want to buy from and tell them THIS is what I want ... find it! It took several days, but my dealer finally found exactly what I was looking for on another dealer's lot ... the dealership went and got it from a them (an inventory swap) and brought it back to town for no...

That's exactly what you have to have enabled.

With the iPhone issue... Does your cellular plan include "tethering"?... That has to be enabled for it to share its data stream with the Explorer.
