    Explorer Starting, Stalling problems

    2.0 Ecoboost I have a 2012 with the 2.0 ecoboost that is giving me problems when starting and idling. Sometimes when I get in it to start it, it will crank for a few seconds longer than usual before it starts. Once it starts it sputters for a bit before going back to normal, or it will just...

    Turboboost on 2.0 Explorer needs to be replaced (underboost)

    i keep having the CEL come on for the dreaded "underboost". It will come and go, but lately it's started coming on more often and staying on longer. I also now have a significant loss of power. Last week I decided to try to figure out the problem after the light had stayed on for a couple of...

    Turboboost on 2.0 Explorer needs to be replaced (underboost)

    Multiple issues with our 2012 Explorer

    The climate control problems started a couple of months ago. Not that big of a deal as the a/c and heater still function. It's mainly just an annoyance that i can control the fan speeds or even turn everything completely off. As for the underboost code, I think it was PO299.

    Multiple issues with our 2012 Explorer

    My wife has a 2012 Explorer with the 2.0 and I can say this is probably the most frustrating vehicle we have ever owned. I have already replaced a strut bearing and passenger side cv axle. We have just recently crossed over the 100,000 mile mark and suddenly, like someone flipped a switch, we...
