    climate control problem

    I wonder with forscan if there is a test for them to help you pinpoint. When I had my VW, I could test them with a laptop and wireless OBD adapter with free software. It told me which of the 4 wasn't responding. I havent seen anyone on here mention about having the blend motors replaced.

    List of Useful Threads 6th Generation Explorer and Aviator Recalls, TSB, FSA and SSM

    Got this one in the mail last week. Issue Date 2025-06-13 Campaign 25S67/25V393 Description On your vehicle, it is possible that the easy entry seat fold switch on the second-row outboard seats may bind or stick if its surrounding trim bezel was installed incorrectly. If the button is stuck...

    Rear Cup Holder

    Here is the factory option. I'd think that piece with the 2 bolts should be removed but keep in mind the carpet is cut differently depending on options from the factory.

    Trans overhaul

    I agree and even both service managers had stated that the 10s were not the greatest. Mine fell within an early date range of the 2020s specifically so they knew something may happen with the part design and changed it.

    Trans overhaul

    Just an update. After reviewing my paperwork, I noticed they replaced my starter as well. It was noted something along the lines of "customers stated noise when starting vehicle, verified concern, found starter not engaging fully and teeth were broken off". I never experienced any such noise...

    Trans overhaul

    Rounding, 19,000 on the $1,800 repair (valve body replacement) and 37,000 on the $3,400 repair (trans overhaul). The 10,000 was the first dealer giving me my deductible back in points to use at the 2nd dealer so I didn't have to pay twice. Does your service history show the cost of the...

    Trans overhaul

    It's not the deductible. You get the points on the total cost of the repair. I earned points on the $5,400 it cost to do the trans repair because the ESP paid it, not the factory warranty.

    Not Receiving heat to 2nd and 3rd row.

    Heat comes out the floor in the 2nd and 3rd row, the vents in the ceiling ar for the AC. So that is why I asked where exactly do they expect the heat to come out.

    Trans overhaul

    Well, at 112k the transmission needed to be rebuilt due to harsh shifting and bucking. The shifting was 3-7 where jolts and hard shifts/bangs were being felt. And sometimes when starting off from a stop it would buck like a 1st time manual trans driver. Brought it to my local lincoln...

    Tire Pressure Sensor warning?

    I have had 2 replaced last week, 1 replaced last hear and my 4th just started to go out. Fortunately every time, I've waited for a different issue to pay the same $50 deductible. My trans is currently being rebuilt with 112k on it so my 4th one is being replaced at the same time.

    Engine replacement on a 2020 Explorer ST

    Call Ford and start a case. If a Ford dealer hasn't diagnosed it, Ford will not consider any help until a dealer does.

    Not Receiving heat to 2nd and 3rd row.

    Can you explain a little more? Where exactly are you expecting heat to come out and that it isnt?

    Ford Digital Experience

    Completely agree. Updates have been for stability, never feature related which is pathetic. You can't tell me in 5 years, Ford couldn't update any additional features or better layouts.

    Yet another PTU bites the dust!

    Phone call. And they will notify offer anything if they choose to until the vehicle has gone to a dealer and been diagnosed.

    Ford ESP

    30 day waiting period for used ESPs to kick in. OP, your dealer is suggesting a fraudulent repair/warranty claim.

    What is this?

    I'm sorry, what? Lol. There is no camera that faces the driver on the 20-24s.

    BlueCruze vs Adaptive Cruze with Lane Center Sensor

    Bluecruise is far superior. It also warns you as sharp curves approach to put your hands on the wheel.

    2023 Explorer Leak, Electrical Problem, and Overall Disappointment

    When a new battery is installed, the BMS needs to be reset, if it wasn't, it csn behave the same way. Follow the steps linked above. I get the same message as you and have been for years.. 95k on original battery. I have a dash cam that records when vehicle is off so that causes the message...

    ST's transmission no longer shifts the same after TSBs were fixed

    Which TSB did they perform? Mine was reflashed and the shifting is fantastic now. My paperwork is home and won't be back till Sunday to see the TSB number.

    BlueCruze vs Adaptive Cruze with Lane Center Sensor

    What? I never said anything about Lane Keeping. I spoke about Lane Centering and only mentioned that in my post.

    BlueCruze vs Adaptive Cruze with Lane Center Sensor

    HUGE improvement with Bluecruise over ACC with lane centering. ACC/Lane Centering is like a ping pong going side to side trying to stay in the lane. Bluecruise, there is no ping pong effect.. it's laser focused and just stays dead straight in the lane.

    Cluncking when going into gear

    14 second mark is the loud clunk when going into gear from Park on a cold start.

    2025 Explorer First Impression by Blwnsmoke

    So the ST taillights are darker then the non ST trims. Here are a few pics with the difference circled. Hopefully they bring back a black rim option. ST Others Deliveries have started so that's a good thing. Hopefullly as you said, QC is improved for this launch.

    2025 Explorer First Impression by Blwnsmoke

    I'm a little late to the game for posting my Impression of the 2025 driving experience, I wanted to make sure to post it for those interested. First, as everyone knows, the redesign is definitely questionable as far as exterior looks goes. It definitely looks better in person then in pictures...

    Cluncking when going into gear

    It's hard to say. Sounds like it's coming from the center to rear of the area. When it actually goes into gear, that's when you hear the loud clunk. I'd describe it as if there was some slop in the drives haft and putting it in gear makes it bang to an extent. I'll get a video of it as it's...

    Cluncking when going into gear

    I know there are some posts out there but csnt find them for the life of me. I have an issue when going into gear, especially from a cold start younget a really loud clunk. I believe it has to do with some time of nut that needs to be removed, greased and retightened. Is there a TSB on this...

    Thanks to Ford for having me out again this week to drive the new 25 Explorer. This included Bluecruise, Autocross and a little offroad fun. Although impressions and descriptions of the above can't be posted till 6/23, I took more pictures and have some answers that a few were asking about...
