    Explorer 'A' pillar replacement

    I replaced the Driver's Side A Pillar Moulding on my 2014 Sport today. As discussed above, the Service Advisor told me that the Ford Premium Care Extended Warranty doesn't cover it. If I'd replaced it during the first three years under the Basic Warranty it would have been covered, but Trim...

    EcoBoost Fuel Injector Issue

    Follow up.... after mentioning the "Transmission not in Park" to my Service Advisor at every visit over the past few years, on my last visit the Service Manager overheard me and said "Oh, there's a TSB out on that, we can fix that." Ta da! Problem Gone! TSB 14-0209, as mentioned above and...

    EcoBoost Fuel Injector Issue

    The saga continues... and is hopefully over! Shortly after I got my car back from the dealer, the Check Engine light came back on. Back to the shop I went, where the Service Advisor told me that it was probably because they'd had the battery disconnected and I just needed to drive it for a...

    Hankook Optimo Discontinued

    I was finally able to get out and put a few freeway miles on the new tires and didn't notice any unusual road noise or buzz. Being in Seattle, I have had ample opportunity to test their performance in the rain and they feel great.

    EcoBoost Fuel Injector Issue

    My car was in the shop for 57 days before I finally got it back. The dealer was great, but Ford Customer Service was nearly worthless. The problem part was a AA5Z9J323E Tube Assembly. There was a source problem causing the backlog, this TSB 14-0091 might be related...

    EcoBoost Fuel Injector Issue

    It's in the shop, it's not drivable. The Washington State Lemon Law says that they have 30 days to fix the problem but that's only for vehicles 30 months old or newer. I'd had mine for 32 months when it went into the shop. The Customer Service rep said that they would provide a rental car...

    EcoBoost Fuel Injector Issue

    My 2014 Sport with 26K miles on it started running very rough, like it was running on 4 or 5 cylinders. The exhaust was so rich with fuel vapors that I was afraid to drive it and had it towed to the dealer. It turns out that a fuel injector was bad and was dumping pure gas into the #2...

    Price paid for sport explorer

    I bought mine off the lot in November. It's Silver with 401A, 2nd Row Buckets, Moonroof, Adaptive Cruise, Towing Pkg, Crossbars, and Rubber Mats. I told them that I wasn't willing to pay anything close to the $50,080 sticker price and not to waste my time if they couldn't offer me something...

    Sirrius antenna question

    When I added Sirius to my '06 Limited a few years ago, I mounted the antenna under the plastic cowl below the passenger side windshield wiper. It makes for a pretty simple installation, all you need to do is route the wire through the firewall and plug it into the Sirius module. The cowl just...

    Keyless entry question

    There is an add-on alarm, I think it's made by Autopage. Any Ford Authorized Car Stereo shop should be able to help you. Ask the Parts Manager...

    2006 Explorer 6 speed transmission shifting issue - update

    I had mine done about 18 months ago when it was in for an oil change. I didn't have the keyless entry code, so I asked them to dump the code off the computer and upload TSB 08-24-4 at the same time. They charged me $58.50 (1/2 hr.) I can feel a definite difference, the trans shifts smoother...
