    2013 Explorer Sport Rough Idle / Bucking on Cold Starts

    Unless you are sitting inside the car you will not be able to notice this. It is just small bucking one after the other for like less than a min on cold start up and it goes away. I usually drive with my seat lowered all the way down and I can feel these small bucking under the seat. It is very...

    2013 Explorer Sport Rough Idle / Bucking on Cold Starts

    It took a call to ford and a district manager involved and after all of that it took them a week to get my car in and do the testing. To be honest, I just have no time to keep going back and forth. Plus it is hard to argue with them when all the ecoboost explorer I tried seem to have the same...

    Fleet Warning Re: Lift Gate

    I had that happen to me once when I was to close to the back of the vehicle trying to squeeze in between my car and a car parked right behind me and suddenly the lift gate opened. I figured that it was due to probably my foot getting under the car when I was trying to squeeze in between...

    Radio not working on startup

    Thanks Shaay, I already have the reminders set to off and even if I switch the 911 assist to on it still does it. It does it every time I turn the vehicle on and put reverse and then put back in drive. it is a specific pattern that does not fail.

    Radio not working on startup

    I have an note 5. Your dealership should be able to easily replicate the problem as it does it without fail. Good luck and keep me posted about that. As I said before my dealership is just avoiding giving me an answer and using the we will call and ask the tech line excuse.

    Radio not working on startup

    Yes 613GT500, that will be me who is having that issue with mobile device segment. Just curious what kind of phone do you have? The dealership did not get back to me yet on this issue, I am guessing that they are avoiding giving me a response as they do not have any straight forward answer...

    3 Problems with 2016 Ford explorer sport

    Nothing yet from the dealer in regards to the MFT issue but I finally had the chance to take a pic of the mirror where they put in the silicon. If you see the part circled in orange you will be able to notice how they sealed it with silicon. Just thought this may help anyone having the same...

    2013 Explorer Sport Rough Idle / Bucking on Cold Starts

    Thanks Peter for your input. My explorer has 700 miles and I don't understand how TB can go bad unless there are a batch of defective ones. I love the truck but I feel frustrated from all the issues that I had. I want to enjoy that truck. I guess it is my bad luck :) My concern now is to...

    2013 Explorer Sport Rough Idle / Bucking on Cold Starts

I just left the dealership and they stated that the TB might be starting to go bad they will probably need to replace it but the cannot do so until I get the wrench light and the car starts to put me in limp mode.

    I just noticed this same issue happening on my 2016 sport. Does anyone else have the same issue and is it the idle sensor that is causing it?

    Hi Rebecca, I just left the dealer now, I showed them this issue and they put the car to check if there are any updates for the MFT, they said I was running the latest version and they have no idea why this is happening.

    Hi, Update on the new fan assembly, so far no more noise while the fans are winding down just one click sound when the fans come to a complete stop. I figured that is normal.

    Just got a call back from the dealership, they ordered new fan assembly to replace the one I have, they said that they did replace a few of these on 2016 explorers and this should solve the fan noise when winding down. I would not hold my breath for it. They are also waiting on Ford tech line...
