    Has anyone got the Cargo Security Shade?

    Worthless Junk I tried to use it during a trip but ended up storing it. I thought it would keep my tools out of sight, but with the tinted windows you couldn't see them anyhow.

    SiriusXM / Travel Link Renewal

    After following the advise on this forum I ignored the multiple letters (first the white envelopes and then the yellow envelopes) all with the same offer. I finally let my subscription expire and hooked up my Ipod inside my EX. Strange enough last week while driving to work suddenly my Sirius...

    Uploading v2.11 problems from thumb drive

    Unsuccessful Upgrade After my memory stick stopped uploading into my EX for a good 45 mins I tried to reinstall it but received the same error as other have received. Finally I gave up and will wait for the 2012 upgrade. Having my vehicle out in my driveway running for an hour trying to play...

    MFT Text now working

    Text Began to Work We were driving my EX during the Halloween Blizzard in Pennsylvania when suddenly my MFT started listing text messages to listen to. Many of them were funny since my sisters phone tries to auto-correct her spelling and often chooses the incorrect word. The messages read out...

    I swear I hear a fan noise when I turn on my Heated Seats.

    On full power I have been able to hear the fan, but I usually run it on the middle setting which is not as loud. Playing with the settings it seems to me that the fan only blows air from behind the front seats, so the temperature of the air is relative to the temperature behind the front row...

    Bad or Burnt Exhaust smell in cabin during hard acceleration.

    I had this problem up to around 5000 miles. Since then the smell during hard acceleration has disappeared. I hope it was only a breaking in smell.

    Problems with Gas Fill

    Slow Gas Fueling Only in the last few times filling my gas tank have I started to experience problems pumping gas into my Explorer. It has over 8000 miles of refueling with no problems. I thought the first time it was the gas nozzle of that specific gas station, but it continued to reoccur...

    2011 Explorer Restricted from towing U-Haul Trailers

    My father and I had driven separately to W. Virginia on a church work camp. This was the first major road trip in my new 2011 Explorer Limited. Our trip there went fine as I enjoyed the MFT system and the automatic cruise control. However, as accidents happen and my father broke his ankle...

    New Sirius channel lineup effective May 4th.

    Sirius Trial Subscription When I called the number on the Sirius card that came with my owners manual I was told to go online to sign up. Once online I signed up and then called Sirius. They upgraded my account for a 15 month trial because I explained that I already had a XM account and...

    At first this morning my pre-set channels were incorrect, but after about 10 minutes the pre-sets all automatically switched themselves to their new numbers. But I still can't browser the entire list of channels.

    Hi Everyone.

    I had an X-Plan, but I ended up using the USAA Car Buying Service which got me a better deal and then subtracted the $750 flyer (thanks explorerforum) and $1000 incentive off that price.

    What's your status?

    I try not to get my hopes up too much either. I expect the dealer to try to raise the price, not give me promised trade in, or damage/imperfections on my Ex, that may leave me Explorer-less for additional time. I still have my fingers crossed and been waiting for it to arrive...hopefully soon.

    List of Useful Threads Hints for a Pre-Pick Up Inspection & Used Ex. Check List

    After reading some of the other posts, I decided to try to create a list of items to check to avoid picking up my Explorer in the excitement of the moment only to find issues or missing items a few days later. I combed over the forum to capture other owner’s experiences with picking up their...

    Seni , For President of Customer Service

    So far my dealer has returned or sent me zero emails since I ordered my Explorer; whereas, Seni has provided me with a VIN and assisted me to find my sticker. If it was possible to order my Explorer online with only Seni to assist me, I would do without hesitation. Thanks for all the help.

    My dealer showed me during our test drive that with the seats folded down the leather top of the console was a bit over the seats. He said that a "friend" opens his and made a wooden top to cover the console to level it with the seats when down. He stated that he hoped that Ford would later...

    Hello all. Ordered my Ex 3/15!

    X-Plan vs Auto Circle I got the "Ford X-Plan Friends And Neighbors New Vehicle Purchase Program" from a friend. Dealer participation is voluntary; therefore, it is important to verify that your local dealer participates in the Program. However, after adding everything up I found that my back...
