    Ugh... Seriously?!? Piss Poor Memory Management in New MFT

    Perhaps you have a hardware issue or a corrupt install...guessing here. I just did this yesterday, I added a bunch of wall papers without issue and without the symptoms you are seeing. I have never had to pull fuse 29, even before the upgrade. I would take it to the dealer, show them the...

    Sync Applink?

    Rebecca Any update on this? Since the performance update is now rolling out the IVT team should have most of the development work behind them regarding the MFT updates and can work on other items...like Sync Applink. Will the IVT team be deploying the Sync Applink software to the Explorer...

    Defective second row seat seatbelt configuration.

    Yeah I see what you are saying. I just checked my 2012 with the airbag belts and the middle seatbelt has to cross. I also tried it out, sitting in the middle seat with all the belts buckled. It was not bad but I see Shermtime's point. It was not unbearable but a simple adjustment to the way...

    Defective second row seat seatbelt configuration.

    Not sure why this person cannot fit 5 passengers in an Explorer, if they are coming from a XC70 they could only cart around 5 people... Is there a reason this person does not use the 3rd row seats and not stuff 3 people in the 2nd row? Maybe this person should be looking at a van if they cannot...

    Daylight savings and GPS sync

    Yeah, I doubled checked this when the wife got home. The only way to get the correct time is to turn DST off, GPS time sync does not seem to do anything, unless the GPS system cannot handle DST which I don't believe. The manual does state with GPS time sync that the system should automatically...

    Daylight savings and GPS sync

    Yesterday when I got in my X, I noticed the time was not automatically adjusted for daylight savings time. I thought this was odd since I knew it was set to automatically handle this. I went into the menu to adjust the clock back and in order to set the clock back the GPS Sync had to be turned...

    Window Side Vents / Deflectors

    I have a 2012 X and installed the in channel deflectors: http://www.lundinternational.com/products/ventvisors-windows/ventvisor/ Took all of about 15mins after dry fit and double checking proper window operation. They look and work great. You should also check on the thread that talks...

    Tires

    I went with the patch. $22.00 bucks later and we drove away. It was a no brainer $22 vs $225 for a new tire

    Tires

    My X came with Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires from the factory. I have about 3000 miles on the X and I have a damn nail in one of my tires. Leak is extremely slow taking several days to lose 1 psi of pressure. The nail has probably been in the tire for a while, got a low tire pressure...

    Anyone using a Thule Cargo Box on their new X

    Went with Thule After searching around for a roof cargo box I took the plunge on a Thule 604 Ascent 1600. I have the factory cross rails and this box works great. It is 75 inches long and fits the roof of the X perfectly without obstructing the antenna or extending out over the roof. It fits...

    Window Side Vents / Deflectors

    I dont know if you are talking about something different but I picked up and installed in-channel window vents from Lund International http://www.lundinternational.com/products/ventvisors-windows/ventvisor/ Took all of about 15 minutes to install and look/work great. Just make sure they...

    Aftermarket Crossbars / Roof Racks

    Roof top cargo box? I have a 2012 Explorer and was interested in getting a roof top cargo box. I looked at Thule and Yakima, but going through both sites and entering the type and year of car, neither company had any product that would "fit" the new Explorer. Only thing that would come up...

    tire mobility kit

    Houtzb is correct. I have a 2012MY with tow package and it should come with a tire mobility kit. I did not realize it until about 2 weeks later. Called the dealer and they said yes, should have one. Took a couple of days to get it. The tire mobility kit is actually part of the tow package. If...

    Anyone happy with their Ex?

    Very satisfied 2012 owner here. Yes I would buy the car again, even seeing all the complaints. Alot of the issues that folks have complained about on the 2011MY I have not seen on a 2012 so they appear to be fixed. Hope this perspective helps you with your decisions.

    Just ordered 2012 XLT, 3 questions....

    Interesting idea, never would have thought of that. Where can you get those mirrors? Will they stay on the mirror in all weather conditions?

    Just ordered 2012 XLT, 3 questions....

    Congrats on your order. I have a 2012 XLT with BLIS, sounds like you ordered the same car. 1: BLIS works awesome. I was on the fence adding this option, but I am glad I did. It does taking some getting used to (mainly learning to trust it) but it definately helps with blind spots, saved me...

    tire mobility kit

    I finally got my tire mobility kit from the dealer. It is much bigger then I thought it would be. After seeing how big it is, it can barely fit under the front driver seat. Yours can fit under your 2nd row? How? I have a 2012 XLT with BLIS and there is no way even a small kit could fit under...

    Tin Roof Rain noise.

    To each their own. It is not LOUD in my 2012. Maybe Ford did something different on the 2012's, I dont know. But for me its not a problem at all and I did not notice the 'noise' until reading about it here. If it is an issue, did you bring it back to the dealer? Did they do anything? Just...
