2011 Ex LTD 49000 mi. Just put new Bridgestone Alenza Plus with 80k warranty. Purchased at Costco. I have daytime running lights set and have had to replace both bulbs at different times. Not an easy task. You have to break the entire headlight assembly free so to get your fingers behind the...

Passenger side visor vanity (mirror) light is out. Dealer service tech said that is a non replaceable item and has to order an entire visor...still under warranty. Tell me that isn't so. For want of a bulb an entire visor? I'm assuming it is a bad bulb, not the wiring.

Every time I try to use the park assist(automatic parking) I get "searching for space on right side". How can I get it to look on left side or look at both sides?

I undid the 2 clips on the left side, but was unable to pull apart the electrical connector, and I guess I have to remove the metal clamp and the large tube in order to lift the top of the filter housing. What ever happened to the days of a simple wing nut on top of the air cleaner? Is there an...

I get a random message about the front sensor inoperative...sensor blocked? Adaptive cruise control will not operate. Dealer ordered a new sensor and should be in this week. One year anniversary yesterday, 18k miles, this is the first issue I've had. Of course when I shut off and restart the...

I can get the phone voice activated by using phone number, but it doesn't seem to recognize "name" activation. I'm using an iPhone4. Do I need to program the names by my voice?

Took vehicle to dealer Saturday. He undid the battery, then hooked it back up, set the GPS as default for clock(it was), and took the car outside so GPS can get a fix. Lo and behold it is now the proper date. He said that after a battery "reset" the car has to find the satellite the first time...

Loaded the new update and my calendar is still screwed up showing today's date as Nov 7, 2031. Same problem I had before update which tech support said would be fixed with update...not. Now tech support said they are aware of the problem and some people have even lost their clock. I cannot...

Pushed the "I" button and looked at the calendar. It showed October 3, 2031. I pushed the today button with no response. Sync tech support said do a master reset...no change. I could only manually scroll the date back to 2030. They then said "wait for the update".BTW went by the dealer this AM...

I bought my '11 Explorer new in October,2011. 2012's are out now, 2013's will be out in March? Does that mean my car will be 2 model years old in way less than 1 year? I would assume that kills resale for 2011 models(and 2012's). Just doesn't seem right.

At my wife's insistence I had OnStar MFV installed about a month ago. Left the car for 6 days and dead battery. Boosted, no problem. Last week same scenario. I assumed there was some problem with OnStar being always on. I took it back to Best Buy and sure enough the wires were crossed? and the...

So as not to put 2k miles on my Explorer I rented a 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel. This is the top of the line Durango. Very similar in features to the Exp LTD. I got about 23mpg hwy... apparently better than the Explorer. Manual 3rd row. GPS was accurate, but I found difficult to set up. I guess...

Where and how can I add vehicle specs? I've looked under my profile and see vehicle specs checked, but nothing is in the box and I can't add anything.

To make my wife happy I had OnStar installed on Sunday. It was hooked up to the front radio speaker, but a mic was added on to the top of the front windshield. The only feature lost was the self dimming mirror. She never has her cell phone on and wanted instant phone feature. Original mirror...

I have the speed sensitive radio control set on 7, but can't really tell any difference when I speed up or slow down in traffic. Is there something else I need to do? I have to manually increase the volume on the highway.

I can't seem to log into the forum from my Ipad2. It says I have to download another app to connect. Is this correct?

I brought my May 2011 build date EX in for the Sync update and asked to add DRL option. No problem, except the tech said that the option was not available on all models? Mine is LTD with 302 option, HID lights. Now parking lights light when ignition is on. Very small insurance discount.

2011 EX about 2400 mi. 565 mile trip from ATL to mid Florida on hwy speed about 78mph mpg= 21mpg. Probably if going 55mph might get that 23mpg, but probably would get run over by all the other cars.

My wife just noticed there are no 2nd row bucket seat armrests. This is without console. I guess if you order console that becomes the inside armrest. Can console be added aftermarket from Ford?

What exactly differentiates MFT from SYNC?

If one has 2 "IA"keys programmed and both people approach the vehicle, how does the car know who the driver will be? Do you have to push 1 or 2 on the door to set the seat?

On Fox news this AM, Ford Explorer is in the top 5 for vehicles with parts and assembly made in the USA(Chicago). Explorer had 85%. I think this was the highest for an "American" manufacturer. Honda's were high, as was Toyota Camry...both built in the US.

Picking up new '11 Explorer LTD tomorrow. WDT with Pecan interior,302A pkg, moon roof. tow pkg., 2nd row buckets w. console, 20" wheels. Same color as my, now traded, Enclave. Hopefully this will be more reliable than my Enclave was.
