Having recently updated my phone to Windows Phone 8.1, I thought I would give my impressions for those interested. I have updated my HTC 8x using the Preview for Developers program offered by Microsoft. I joined the preview mainly because I have no idea when Verizon will get around to updating...

Hello all, I was curious if anybody else has experienced this: When ever we mash the pedal to get the transmission to kick down a gear or two (such as passing someone on the freeway), the transmission shifts gears quickly, the engine revs, but it seems like the power doesn't come on right...

Is it just my wife's phone, or does Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich not play nice with MFT? More specifically the MAP support seems partially broken. When my wife's phone had Android 2.3 Gingerbread, texting worked perfectly. Now that the phone has been upgraded to 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, it...

When listening to music from my phone (HTC 8X running Windows Phone 8), it works fine until I try to select music from another album. MFT disconnects the BT Audio connection, then tries to reconnect to my wife's phone (the default phone). It also switches to the FM radio. After a while, it will...

Anybody seen this: 2011 Ford Explorer Seats Recall 11V063000 NHTSA: Action Number: N/A Service Bulletin Number: 11V063000 Report Date: Feb 02, 2011 Component: Seats Potential Units Affected: 1658 Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company Summary: Ford is...

I found that when I use the voice command to reply to a message, MFT reads out the correct destination phone number, but after I send the text, 9 times out of 10, it will send the reply not to the phone number it quoted (the correct one), but to my own phone. So all that ends up happening is...

Hey Rebecca, I was wondering if the following 'characteristic' of the Sony stereo in our Limited is going to be addressed. The issue is how loud the stereo gets when turning the volume up from what I think is the 4th to the 5th little hash mark down in the Entertainment quadrant. It is a huge...

Just found this: http://www.fordinsidenews.com/forums/showthread.php?8582-Windows8-to-drive-nextgen-MyFordTouch-DailyTech-com and this: http://www.dailytech.com/Windows+8+Customer+Preview+Coming+in+June+Sources+Say+Ford+to+Use+Windows+8+Metro+UI/article24530.htm

So, in my attempt to learn about (and use!) everything on the Gray Ghost that I can, I tested out the lane keeping alert. I have to say, it is pretty darn cool! You have to remember to turn it on each time you get into the car, which I like. I don't necessarily want my car nanny-ing me all...

Hey Explorer owners :) I have signed up on Fuelly.com so that anybody that is curious can see what kind of mileage we are extracting out of our Explorer. I invite everybody to join! They don't have a 2013 section yet, but I am working on it. A couple of more fill-ups and our car should...

So here it is, introducing the Gray Ghost: 2013 Explorer Limited V6 FWD Sterling Gray Charcoal Black interior Package 302A 2nd row captain's chairs 2nd row console (a must!) Panoramic roof OEM All-Weather Mats OEM Cargo Area Protector Splash guards Dee Zee Running Boards At the dealership...

Hey everyone, the Gray Ghost has finally arrived and is sitting in our garage this very moment. Had an awesome delivery and overall buying experience. It's late right now, so pics will have to wait until I can catch my breath, and a few zzz's :) Also to follow is a detailed timeline...

So, on the way home from school, I pass by a new car marshalling lot next to the Hardy Toll Road. Parked next to the fence, closest to the road, facing the road, was a white Explorer. Strangely, it had an all black grill, black wheels (couldn't tell the design), and no roof rack on the top...

Hey everyone. I found this PDF posted on an Edge forum and thought it might apply to some people on here having problems. I realize there is already a TSB posted in the sticky for the liftgate, but this looks a bit different. Edit: Removed the LINK and posted screen shots below.

Got to get my first taste of the 'new' navigation. I was pretty impressed. The level of detail is incredible. We chose a restaurant in a rather large corner shopping center, pretty much a really big strip center. To our surprise, the individual little roads through the parking lot in the center...

Found this thread on Focus Fanatics forum, and they are giving MFT a real working over. The fun starts on post #555.

Hello all, I've been thinking about this for a while, so I have decided to just go ahead and do it. I would like this thread to become a master reference for those looking for phone compatibility and MyFord Touch. If the thread becomes successful, I think it might be worthy of a sticky, so it...

I just downloaded the 2013 Owner's Manual and found something curious. It has instructions for both Homelink and Car2U: UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (IF EQUIPPED) The appearance of your vehicle’s universal garage door opener will vary according to your option package. Before programing, make...

Hi Cory, I was wondering if you had any information as to when the Ford Partner website would be updated with X-plan pricing for the 2013 Explorer? Thanks :)

Looks like the 2013 FWD is now rated at 24mpg highway. Are they managing expectations, or is this a result of the new axle ratio?

Hello owners! Can anybody confirm or deny whether the Explorer power liftgate has any sort of object avoidance logic built in? I am wondering if the liftgate will open even if something is very close to the back of the car, close enough that the hatch would hit it if opened. My reason for...

Hello all, My wife and I took a 2012 Ecoboost Ex for a test drive yesterday while our friend was picking up his 2012 Edge Sport (sweet ride). She was driving, as it would be her car. I was trying to gauge how hard the motor was having to work, so I asked how much pedal she was using to...

So I was checking out the ecoboost video on the Explorer page at the Ford website. At the beginning of the video, the Explorer is taking a turn, but is leaning into the turn. What??? Physics pretty much dictates that the Ex would lean away from the turn. Phony!! :D Also, in the next shot...

I tried to vote on a topic on The Ford Story tonight, and I couldn't log in. I had to re-register to get on. Not only that, my two ideas that I had posted are now attributed the Nan H. ? What the hell is that about. Also, when I vote on a topic, the counter never increments. Why is that...

Hello all, Well it finally happened, I have found some of the first test drives of the ecoboost Ex! See here: Motortrend and here: Automobile and here: Car and Driver and here: Autoblog Looking kinda slow unfortunately, not that I was expected a hot rod. All I can say, it better get...
