I have the 2011 Explorer Limited with the remote start. Never had a problem. Now, a year later, I am unable to start my truck on the first go. I hit the same combinations of buttons as I have been for a year, but now I just get the lights to flick on and off (engine does not try to start). The second time I try it, the truck starts up. It's consistently the second or third attempt, never the first. I took it to the dealer who said nothing is wrong and it started up for them. I told them, yes because it's now the second, third, etc. time you are attempting it. Not sure how long the car has to sit, but when it sits for a good amount of time, the first attempt of remotely starting the truck does not work and only the light flick on and off. They changed the battery in both remotes, but still the issue continues. Since it starts the second time around it's not really a big deal, but I'm curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue?
