    MFT Battery Saver message on shutdown

    Me too in my MY 2012. It happened for a few days in a row, I couldn't get the accessories to stay on e.g. push the start button twice while engine is running to stay in the Explorer and keep the radio on & engine off... it would just give me this same message and then shut everything down. I...

    U-Haul rents again

    Just called U-Haul and apparently the Ford Explorer ban has been lifted for 2011 and newer model years. You can now rent a trailer for your Explorer if you needed to.

    HUD: Well my friends Lexus has it why not me?

    Brake caliper seized

    Me too.... close to $900 to replace 4 discs and 4 pads as they had seized on the right side - They left the old calipers in place so I guess this will reoccur. I live in Northern climate but have never had this happen on any of my previous non-Ford cars. I had about 25K miles when this occurred...

    Squeaking / Squealing Brakes

    I have a 2012 and also have had off and on brake squeal since almost new... it is very annoying indeed. The dealer 're-polished' my rotors (apparently they didn't resurface just re-polished) at about 5K and the squeak stopped for a while. It has since come and gone but now at about 28K it is...

    Turn signal oddity

    My 2012 Limited that I have had for over a year has suddenly started clicking the left hand turn signal about 3 times faster than the right. Weird stuff!

    No Key Detected

    I've had the message come up a few times when just having started the car and had to double check my pockets. Cleared the message with the OK button on the steering left button and all was well. Never thought anything more of it as it caused me no real issues.

    After almost a year... a bad sign of things to come

    My 2012 Ex turns one in October and on a long 3 hour drive home yesterday I had the pleasure of experiencing two of the dreaded issues mentioned on this board and that up until then I had thought myself lucky to have avoided: 1) The dreaded A-Pillar bee buzz - Yes it took almost a year to show...

    A faster, simpler, better myford touch is here - MFT Update

    Sh*T Here we go again :thumbdwn:I knew I should have stayed away from the MFT upgrade but... After loading it up a couple of days ago today I got my first big issue with MFT since 3.0 was loaded by the dealer. Rear view camera was stuck on a single image and even with the engine off I couldn't...

    Engine running 3 hours later

    So I guess that as you walk away from the Explorer and press the lock on the FOB the Explorer doesn't warn you of this (My 2007 Infiniti chirped loudly to let you know engine was running). This sucks as the engine will run itself out of gas and then proceed to drain your battery. Has anyone...

    Engine running 3 hours later

    Yes - Exactly right "Pay Attention" - I have a garage but never put my car in it so other than wasting gas I don't think any harm was done. Now if this happens to someone who garages their car things might turn out differently. With push button start even though I hit the button it sometimes...

    Engine running 3 hours later

    No. Key was real far from the Ex but it didn't make a difference,

    Engine running 3 hours later

    Forgot my engine on for over 3 hours. Neighbor let me know lights were on and that's how I found out. Isn't there supposed to be an idle timeout of some sort?

    Phone stops being detected workaround (kind of)

    My LG Optimus 2X keeps loosing it's pairing with the Explorer's MFT 3 and I got tired of un-pairing and repairing every other day. What seems to be working to get it working without re-pairing is turning off bluetooth on both MFT and the phone, turning BT back on and then doing a connect. This...

    Cargo area, 3rd row seat back cracks.

    No it is as it was. Doesn't show with seats up so I keep them up. I was planning on calling my dealer and seeing if they could cover it under warranty. I'll post the results.

    A faster, simpler, better myford touch is here - MFT Update

    So I got this update dealer installed about a week ago. New issue just started today where I can make phone calls with MFT but I can't hear anything... I have to pick up m cell and use it to talk and hear. Tried re-pairing phone, Master Reset and complete phone reset but still no joy.

    Cargo area, 3rd row seat back cracks.

    Took my all season wheels into the dealer so that I can get them on and the winter tires stores and found that the weight of the wheels broke the cheap cardboard panel that lies flat when you put the seats in a lie flat position. Didn't Ford think that anybody would put anything in the back of...

    A faster, simpler, better myford touch is here - MFT Update

    I got my AIPM module replaced in '12 Explorer because after going black screen for the 6th plus time it finally died and never recovered. I can say without any doubt in my mind the 'My Freak'n Turd' is still just that. It doesn't recognize 90% of my voice commands (before the update it was about...

    OH OHHH! System is Rebooting!

    Mine kept doing th maintenance thingy and going black for a couple of months before the MFT completely died. It's at the dealer now waiting on a new APIM module, apparently dealer has replaced a few and had none left :( I'm afraid that the hardware is turning out to be as bad as the software is.

    MFT Black / Blank Screen

    If yours is like mine I got black screens for a few months that lasted a few days at a time and then MFT died. I took it to the dealer today and they needed to order an APIM module. They said mine was the second dead one today - I guess this will be a common problem with MFT going forward. I...
