    Bad Radio Reception, Especially AM

    Radio Reception In May I purchased a 2013 Explorer Limited (10.5K miles) that was loaded with options. After a couple of days I realized I realized there was something wrong with the radio. Contrary to the majority of people in this age of FM and Satellite I like to listen to local news...

    Bad Radio Reception, Especially AM

    Peter, I just bought a used 2013 (10k miles) and the am reception is awful. I saw someone else had the same problem on a Flex. Supposedly there a new antenna assembly. Don't know if he got better results. I'm planning on talking to Ford service. Gerry
