LOL.... Yes I was also annoyed that my new 17 only had 2 screws vs my 15 having four. This was the first mod i did. I pull out the two bottom rubber nipples and replaced them with ones that closely matched the top ones from the local auto parts store. holes are the same size so any will...

Anyone notice the holes on the base of the rotors are gone on the 17 sports? My 15 Sport had the large holes on base of the rotors.

We need a fix for this. Something like hitting a button before exit. I hate turning off the cold car when I run into a store, get out lock it and then restart it. Sucks. Also another problem i seem to notice is if you had the car on defrost and then turn off the car and upon starting it...

Just traded in my 2011 for a 2015 Sport. I have less then 100 miles on it and while driving to work this morning I went to adjust the temp from the steering wheel and the option was gone. I was shocked like am I doing something wrong here. My 2011 had the feature and it was the primary way I...

I was at dealer last night about to trade in my 2011 FWD XLT (Limited clone) for a 15 sport but I am wondering if I should wait for the 2016 sport... I was thinking of only doing a two year lease and then see whats going on at that time? I could wait but I would like to have the 4WD this...

Looks good. More of a sleeper with the black calipers. I hate when they get the rust lip around the edge of the rotor.

Can to specify Front License Plate delete when building How do I make sure when I order a new explorer it will not have holes in the front cover? Is is by state? I'm in Michigan (no front plate required here) but I see a lot of explorers in the state with front plate holders or vanity front...

Has anyone else noticed that the shifter knob on some 2013 explorers are now a little different then the 11-12's? They seem to be a bit taller and feel different. Same with the seat belt male ends they have a thicker upper section. Strange.

I have finished the install of the 2013 Explorer Sport brakes on my 2011 XLT. http://s45.photobucket.com/user/bradleyls103/slideshow/Explorer/Brake%20Upgrade The front rotors were a simple bolt on and I didn't need to use the 2 new brass washers included in the kit as the original ones...

Too Funny... My wife is buying them for me and she works at State Farm. Need I say more.... Insurance companies don't care. Just like if you want to upgrade rims or suspension or performance engine parts... Lets get back on track. Suggestions on brake fluid. 2011 has dot 3 and 2014 has...

I agree The abs senses when the brakes lock up... Doesn't make any difference what rotor size is.. Lock up is lock up. Turning is turning. Looking for info on fluid

As far a replacement fluid goes the manual in my 2011 says Dot 3 (PM-1-c, WSS-M6C62-a) but the 2014 manual says Dot 4 LV (PM-20, WSS-M6C65-A2) With the new Sport brake upgrade what fluid should I use? I know Dot 4 has higher boiling point but can absorb moisture faster. Why did Ford switch to...

I had agreed, but I am currently doing the same project with different parts and I just tested the light and it is very bright. I test wired it to the 3rd row dome light but every time you open any door it turns it on and the back lights up so bright that the car almost glows outside. I didn't...

I did mime so I could charge my phone. I have had trouble with aftermarket usb cords with my phones and even get a phone message on the screen saying please use factory usb cord. The flat ones have failed on me in the past. I also like keeping up with the new year to year changes when I see...

LOL... Thanks... So very sadly true. I wish I could have just used a drill and took 5 min but I would always look at it and not be satisfied that it doesn't match the stock one even though the drill method looks great too . Its a sickness!

Media Hub Cable Cut out in Center Console Ok, finished up adding the media hub cable cut out in the center console last night. Turned out great! http://s45.photobucket.com/user/bradleyls103/slideshow/Explorer Brad

Easy to remove. Just pull down the door weatherstripping that covers the pillar then pull at the top of the pillar. It has 3 metal standard spring type clips. once those are loose you pull the pillar up and toward you to remove the panel. The bottom has 2 plastic tabs that just slip into...

The panel looks to be the exact same for all options besides the different color options. I just took mine apart and the cup holders and shifter trim are all screwed to the basic trim panel. I bet it is the same exact part but sadly I'm sure you can only buy it as in assembly, so instead of a...

Having same problem. the answer delay and radio un-mute for 2 seconds is the worse part. Also have a Samsung S4

I am also very interested my 2011 cant keep up with my braking and are super warped.

I got it used with 30,000 it now has 34,000 miles. I noticed all these issues in the 4,000 miles.

1. Window Motors tsb- Windows are loose and make a shuttering noise when they go down 2. Window Film on inside windows tsb 3. Tin Roof Noise when raining tsb 4. A-Piller Noise from both sides- Tsb 5. Transmission bump after costing at low speeds tsb 6 Bad Torque steer and car goes into...

I just took mine in with the same problem. Both side make noise but the right side is worse. I sure hope they fix it the right way... :(

I would also love to get better brakes on mine. They got so warped from just a couple harder 80 mph to 0 mph stops where a freeway turns into a road with a red light.
