    Emergency Brake will not engage

    So I was able to get the issue resolved myself and I didnt have to get totally under the car. Since there was tension on the cable , I had to cut the cable on the front end side. Cutting the cable and getting the parking brake in and out took a long time because there isn't much working space...

    Connecting dashcam to wiring harness (rear view mirror)

    Hello I am wondering if anyone has connected a dashcam to the wiring harness of the rear view mirror. I was thinking there would be some sort of pre-made harness that I can connect a dashcam to that I could buy online, but I dont know what words I should specifically search for.

    2011 - 2018 Explorer Power Steering Issue

    My car is still at the shop hasn't been fixed yet. This person on youtube thinks that its a design flaw and engine heat is causing these issues by overheating the electronics. I see nhtsa reports for steering failures all the way up to 2017, so it does not make me confident that ford ever...

    2011 - 2018 Explorer Power Steering Issue

    update: dealer says the truck needs a new steering gear. Lost communication to module. Are many others running into the same issue where the steering gear fails and is not being covered by the recall? No luck so far with ford care or dealer in amicable resolution.

    No Sound - Sync

    So Im back from the dealer, they want $1000+ to repair. They told me that the APIM needs to be replaced. I had an extended warranty on it , but it expired in april of this year. Is this something that I can source myself on ebay or elsewhere? ( I saw some kinda pricey on ebay for $699! Sheesh)...

    Great thank you. Do you know if there is any type of programming needed or can I just swap the part out and it would "work"

    would you happen to know the part number? when I search on ebay it keeps coming up with something to do with an airbag.

    Broken pigtail antenna

    i ended up going to a small independent body shop for this. the larger ones wouldnt fix without repainting the entire roof, and charged double the rate i paid as a result of that. they did have to take down the headliner as you said. they fixed the sheet metal and put paint on that small area.

    Broken pigtail antenna

    i was very unlucky to hit the antenna on the exact spot as the metal garage door handle. ripping it right off. i think i would be able to bend some of the sheet metal back, im just wondering how much work it takes to get to it from underneath. my main worry here is getting it fixed correctly so...

    2011 - 2018 Explorer Power Steering Issue

    Im still waiting for the recall to get extended to the rest of the 2013 vehicles. They cut off vehicles that were manufactured after feb 2012, which excludes almost every 2013 explorer and beyond right? Whats the point of even mentioning 2013 explorers in the recall if they don't intend to fix...

    2011 - 2018 Explorer Power Steering Issue

    I went ahead and reached out, but have not been able to get to any adequate resolution, even with an escalation. Here is recap: Ford Motor Company has recall #14S06 for steering control defects in certain Ford Explorer models. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V286000 The Power Steering Assist...

    2011 - 2018 Explorer Power Steering Issue

    Still no luck, with ford they told me my vin does not fall into the recall, even though it is a 2013 explorer with same exact symptoms /solution. Everybody in customer service there is like a robot.

    2011 - 2018 Explorer Power Steering Issue

    I have not made any progress on this issue, the truck is still at the dealer and I am still running an uphill battle with ford to get this fixed. If any of you are on twitter, if you can follow my wife's twitter account for any updates for this steering problem I would appreciate it. She is @...
