I'm wondering why 2 months ago when the work was first done, the mechanic didn't notice it. What part of the country are you in?

No, I wasn't aware of that link. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do! Thanks.

Sorry to read about what happened. I am curious however if you could give the name and model number of the switch (Homelink) that they did install. You said you found the instructions in the cup holder with the price. I have a car I would like to add a Homelink to and this price seems very...

Sounds like perhaps the tire itself may have been low on air, or had a blowout or quick loss of air. Was there any unusual vibration or noise prior to the tire coming off the rim? The Explorer tires back in the 90's were a WHOLE DIFFERENT set of circumstances and have nothing to do with what...

No, he wasn't clear on if he had the ESP the way he wrote the post with "I asked for a rental or loaner because I was out of a vehicle for about a week but the service adviser told me to call Ford customer care because I do not have extended warranty and the ESP plan does not cover rentals for...

Do you in fact have an ESP from Ford with the rental coverage? If so, a rental should be provided even if the car is in for any type of warranty work other than ESP work. Copied from a different forum where someone else asked about rental coverage . This was posted in 2014 so check your...

Here is the Field Service Action or TSB (whatever it is called) that owner's of Ford C-Max and Ford Fusion Energis and Hybrids are receiving It is FSA #15N04 and specifically says Embedded Modum Replacement. It also covers Lincoln MKC and MKX models which actually received the letter around...

My 2015 Ford C-Max Energi has a 2G modem which as you pointed out is being shut down. Ford issued a service action which allowed a new 3G modem to be installed. I had that done last week so am all set. I don't know if older Explorers have the 2G modem, but would think they would be eligible...

If you check through the forum you'll see that many pictures have the plates disguised in one way or another due to possible Internet privacy concerns. That always made me wonder, what is the difference of having your plate seen every time you take it out of the garage, versus a picture of it...

It's actually the records for my 2013. There are only about 5 entries now instead of the 12 or so that were there. It's strange that all except one of my own entries are gone, and the dealer entries are still there. When I sold the F150, I printed out the service records to go along with the...

I have used the Ford My Owner Website to record any and all maintenance and repairs I have done to my vehicle. This goes back to when I purchased my 2003 F150 new and kept records there. Yesterday when I checked the website to see how long it has been since I changed my oil, about 80% of my...

There are literately hundreds of posts about how to do the changing of the bulbs, or where to buy the assembly already converted to LED lights on various Ford forums. I know there are posts on the Explorer, Edge, and F150 forums. Here is a quick search result with just one link to each of the...

Why? That tow guide shows the 3.16 having the Class III package available. The etis report (linked to in my earlier post) which is basically the birth certificate of the particular vehicle also lists it having the Class III package. Just input the VIN on the etis link page and see all the...

The etis report shows a Class III trailer package. The 2012 brochure only shows a Class III towing option http://www.ford.com/services/assets/Brochure?make=Ford&model=Explorer&year=2012&postalCode=34638

It's a shame, but I am reading more and more posts similar to this one. An owner asks a service adviser or rep if something is covered under warranty. The answer is no, and so the owner pays for the repair and many times has someone else other than the dealer do the work. Some time later, for...

Nope, only a 60000 mile warranty.

Click the top right side of this page where it says VEHICLE, then put in your VIN. You will learn more about what your vehicle is equipped with than you will know what to do with! http://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do

I don't believe these models use the IAC system as such anymore. I would look closely at the throttle body assembly and throttle body position sensor.

Is "The Works" available in Canada, and if so, is that what you get? Or do you just ask for the oil and filter to be changed? The Works specifically states that synthetic blend Motorcraft oil will be used. With the low miles you put on every six months (2000 miles) that would be about 4000...

Quick Lane The Works is the way to go if you have someone else do your changes. They not only use synthetic blend Motorcraft oil and a Motorcraft oil filter, but they also top off all fluids. They always do a 27 point check and give you a copy of tire thread remaining, brake pad wear, rotate...

Read reply #7 as to what the fix was for that owner. :thumbsup:

This is an online site connecting some of the nations salvage yards here in the USA and Canada. Put in a 5 diget zipcode (44060 for example-Ohio) and search nationwide. You can even submit a request for parts if you can't find them. http://www.car-part.com/ LKQ is also a large salvage yard...

Clearly I am not a complete idiot. I am educated enough to be earning enough to be paying for 3 different $50K cars. Many states do not allow the driver to wear headphones for safety reasons, such as not being able to hear emergency vehicles using their sirens, or because of being distracted...

I am sure since the defective part is mechanical and has nothing to do with fabric or cloth, it will be covered. I had the driver's side seat-belt on my F150 that quit retracting by itself, I had to feed it back in. The service adviser said my Ford ESP did not cover it because it was not...

I saw a similar mount called "Steelie" and was pretty interested until I read some reviews. The magnets can interfere with the GPS and the motherboard in the phone. Also can wipe out credit cards, room keys, work key cards, etc if the phone with the magnets is placed too close to your...
