    Thanks all for finding out why it did this. Not a feature I knew about, so am glad to know about it now.

    HOW did my 2013 Lock me out while running?

    Yep! Plus get dirty because it is winter and my car is full of salt and sand and the garage, overall, is a tight fit, but plenty of room down the middle which is the passenger side.

    HOW did my 2013 Lock me out while running?

    Well, it hasn’t happened in six years, LOL, and I definitely won’t let it happen again! The drivers door is in th other side and harder to access to just start the car to warm it up.

    HOW did my 2013 Lock me out while running?

    Hmm. I've never been able to do that - if I push the "lock" button on the fob or the car while I'm in it and attempt to leave with it running, the doors unlock. So trying to understand what happened this time.

    HOW did my 2013 Lock me out while running?

    A crazy thing happened and I want to know why. Anybody know? I was going in from my passenger door from the outside to start my Ex up (like I always do). When I was reaching in I had things in my hand along with my keys, and I thought I had accidentally pushed the emergency button on my keyfob...

    Ford Explorer: Are Your Rear Brakes Dragging... Most Likely Yes!

    My BF took a look at all of the brakes today and says they all look normal ( except the rear right) for 30,000 miles and as much as we use it. He thinks it's not right to be happening like this. Makes no sense and I had better not have to pay for this, which seems to be an obvious flaw not...

    Ford Explorer: Are Your Rear Brakes Dragging... Most Likely Yes!

    I came onto the board today to look into something like this happening on my 2013 ex. It has just over 30,000 miles, bought new. About a month ago I started hearing a little bit of squeaking but it wasnt consistent. Then ALL OF A SUDDEN, grind grind grind - rear right only. My boyfriend looked...

    All of a sudden my iPhone 5 won't hook up to the Bluetooth in my 2013 explorer. Has been working fine, and just stopped. I rebooted phone several times, tried to sync up several times no good. Deleted the phone, tried to refind it and it won't come up, phone doesn't find the explorer, either...

    Rear Climate Control

    My dad and I went back and forth the other day during a drive in the cold trying to figure this out! Glad I found this thread. It seems like a flaw to me, but at least I know it's working properly.

    Blinker only goes 3 times?

    I like the feature but agree the 3-4 blinks you get isnt enough. I also HATE the right turn blinker... everytime I flip it all the way, for a more "lengthy" turn, I flash my brights. Anybody else have this problem? Doesnt happen on the left.

    Advice about paint flaw in new Ex?

    update: The cost to totally replace the hood is $2407. They cannot say for sure the damage happened there or not - nobody fessed up to it. They would though, offer a $300 paint job we want done tossed in for free, along with car rental for free if I do an insurance claim to get the hood...

    Advice about paint flaw in new Ex?

    I know it's a bad situation. But, there really is no way this could have happened. I park in particular spots where people can't park in front of me, etc. I don't have kids who might have done something. The car goes safely in garage at night. I didn't see it when I picked up because I was...

    So, we got the paint flaw fixed no problem. I picked it up thursday evening, examined the paint job closely, and was very satisfied. Drove home.
