I'm at my wits end on this... I had the Customer Satisfaction Program 17N03 done last year I believe and it seemed fine for a while (or maybe I didn't notice), but I'm getting a bad exhaust smell from the vents coming into the interior cabin - only happens with the AC is on and recirc is on...

I was curious if anyone had pics of both blacked out emblems whether you did yourself or professionaly, OR I wanted to see some pics of our Explorers debadged in the rear. I had a situation where the letter "E" in my tailgate got ripped off from me backing up too far and a tree branch pulled it...

I gotta ask... does Ford intentionally make things break after going over 36K miles? So pissed... my 2015 Explorer warranty just expired and I now have 37K miles. The truck is only 2 yrs old and my AC now blows hot air and my door panel bumps up - must be the glue releasing. Is there anyone...

Hey everyone, I'm due for my 20K mile oil change. I was curious if any of you had changed your oil at your local Valvoline Express Oil location. I been doing it with my Mustang for years and it's been fine. But, with a newer 2015 motor running on specific oil, are their special blends...

Anybody ever get a message that says "All Terrain System Fault" or something along those lines? There's a certain bump in the road when I exit from the gas station I typically fill up at. It's at a corner by a traffic light and I need to hit the gas hard and turn sharply at the same time. The...

Anybody else have a problem with their My Ford Touch system where when you go into the truck to start it up, it defaults back to the BlueTooth setting vs. staying on FM radio where you left it when you turned the vehicle off last? Is there a fix or is this another dealer trip?

For those that have the dual panel moonroof, I was curious if any of you have had any issues with the power moonroof shade squeaking when it opens/closes? My Explorer is in Ford service today for a few things but that's one of the items I wanted them to look it. It was very quiet when I first...

Does anybody know why Ford chose to give the 3.5L V6 on the 2011+ Explorers a power push only in the upper RPM range? Is it gas mileage? I would think since families probably use it around town that it would be programmed to deliver more low and mid range power to dart forward in traffic and...

I think the text messaging feature is great on the MFT system. I do have one question though... when I respond to a text message, can it only be the standard response options that are preloaded? I think you can edit them but of course as each conversation changes, so would those. Can I...

Bought my Explorer in April this year and absolutely love it. Never really noticed anything wrong with my MFT system until recently as I came to use the system more with colder weather and just playing around with it. 1. Sometimes I can only turn on the Rear Climate Control by pressing the...

Does anybody know what Kelvin the 2016 Explorer headlights are? And is it literally just a reflector housing with an LED bulb or is there more to it? How much better/worse is this vs. an OEM HID set-up?

I gotta say to all the lighting upgrade people out there... I recently installed a Diode Dynamics HID conversion kit. The lighting output is great. Much better than stock 9005 halogen bulbs. I was like a kid on Christmas morning putting them in. As I got more and more used to driving with...

For anybody that has a 2011-2015 HID kit for their Explorer (or even a factory unit), how does that compare to the 2016 LED headlights? Which one has more lumens? What is the Kelvin temp for the LED's? I know the HID's are 4300K. Has anybody out there went from the 2011-2015 factory HID to...

I just installed an HID kit from Diode Dynamics. I gotta say... the lighting output simply doesn't even compare to the factory deadly dim halogen projectors. The light cut-off appears to be identical to the factory halogens but is it? Seems everyone these days has bright lights and I'm sure...

I'm curious for those of you that have upgraded your halogen projectors... Has anyone actually just added the Ford HID kit that comes as an option when you order? Are they significantly better than stock or is it better to go aftermarket. My only thing is playing around with electrical stuff...

I've had my 2015 Limited for about 2 months now and just recently noticed that there's a weird looking etch design or something in the lower part of the windshield (bottom part where the clear glass ends and it turns black by the firewall). It's basically just above glove box, maybe slightly...

I was curious if you can adjust the climate control system to stay on when getting into the vehicle with remote start activation. It turns off once you get in and hit the start button. As an example, I turn on the truck remotely and the climate control also fires up to the factory set 72...

Hey Guys, I'm sorry to say that I am no longer a 2002-2005 owner. While I miss my '03 XLT V8, I'm happy to say that since I bleed blue, I purchased a 2015 Limited. I am shocked how different the two are. And I can say that I won't miss all the issues needing repair/maintenance that the...

Hey Guys, Maybe a month late posting because I been enjoying it, but I picked up my 2015 Limited Explorer in April. I gotta say... what a world of difference from my 2003 XLT. Holy smoke! The ride quality, suspension, steering, handling etc. doesn't even come close. I am VERY happy with...

Well guys, after much contemplating on which options my spouse and I want and what will match our current and future lifestyle, I'm happy to say we have decided to go with a 2015 Limited. We're adding a few extra options to make it perfect for us. We're gonna hit the dealership Sat morning...

Can anyone compare from experience how good the Ford HID headlights are vs an aftermarket HID kit? And how would the new 2016 standard LED's compare vs an aftermarket kit?

I was wondering if you're able to put a 2015 Sport grill, headlights and tailights on a 2015 XLT model? I would assume the parts are interchangeable or is there something different with the electrical wiring or mounts on the lights. What about mounting the grill - is there anything different...

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of doing my research to prepare myself for buying a new Explorer. I don't want to waste a salesperson's time with 3 test drives, so can anyone tell me how much of a difference in ride quality there is between the 18" and 20" wheel and with Sport? I know this is...

Hey Guys, I recently (out of nowhere) wasn't getting any heat in my '03 Explorer. I came to find that I was very low on coolant. Filled it up to the proper level and all has been okay (it needed about 1.5 gallons). It's been about 2 weeks now and I figured I'd get under the hood to check...

Guys, I need to finally say goodbye to my 2003 Explorer. While I love it and it's been good to me, the amount of maintenance it needs right now far exceeds the value of the whole truck. With that in mind, I do bleed blue and I'm sticking with the Explorer. I'm torn between getting a...
