How hard a fight was this to get warrantied? The seal on my 2020 is also bad, I'm 4 days out of the 3yr/36K, and being told the premiumcare does not cover the part needed to "fix" the issue. The pat being the glass (78500A18), because the seal is not availabe seperatly.

It did, for a while. It came back though. Now I am getting a P0420 and P0430 code. Recently replaced the valve cover, as the TSB for the oil getting into the air cleaner box was never done. I only did that because I was also replacing all the fuel injectors. Codes still come back...

Wanting to buy an ESP for my 2017 F150. Was actually getting going to do it via the floodfordesp site. Does Joel beat his own site's pricing?

Wife 2011 had a clunk like noise when she accelerate from a stop or come to a stop. Never when steering or going over bumps. Sounded like it was coming from the front right of the car. I replaced everything, struts, control arms, end links. Finally had someone look at the motor while I had...

Probably not something Ford is fixing if your the vehicle is out side it's warranty though?

Nothing I consider major on our 2011. It's got 110K and the biggest issue it's has had are a bad cat and the motor mounts. Still get a check engine light every now and then, if my wife fills up with gas at Kroger. Not sure why Kroger gas causes it, but it does. I do have a few minor...

The motor mounts are fairly easy to replace. Just did both mounts and the torque arm on my wife's explorer. Her's went bad after towing a trailer for the first time, from IL to AL. The mounts had over 100K on them and the hydraulic mount on the right side started to pop when accelerating...

***Update 3*** Check engine lite came one after replacing both 02 sensors, so I finally decided to replace the cat. Got the part from rock auto, planed to do it myself, but go a job offer in AL, so had to get it put on at a repair shop before taking a trip down there. Anyway, the cat from rock...

Down steam are 35-40, up stream are about 80-90. Dealer wanted 140 and 220 respectively, and about 550 for a cat, plus install. Pfft!

No. I had the dealer check the PCM, and it came back fine. The wanted to replace the cat and both O2 sensors. I can do that all myself, I just figured I'd do it one piece at a time, and I do wind up replacing the cat, I'll just put in the new o2 sensors into the new car. FYI, the P0430 CEL came...

***Update 2*** CEL cam back a few days after swapping out the coil and getting the emissions test. Ordered and replaced (friday the down stream, bank 2, O2 sensor. Took all of 15 min and only had to remove the foam engine cover to do it. Reset the CEL and drove it around all day yesterday...

Our 2011made a clunking noise, randomly, for about a week or so when turning left. Almost sounded/felt like the spring was under load, then released suddenly. you could hear and feel the clunk. It magically stopped and has never come back Just check the end links, they look fine. But I'll...

***Update*** CEL came back on a few days after changing the plugs. Decided to try replacing the coil for the cylinder which had previously recorded a misfire a while back. Did that a few days ago, no CEL since. Got the emissions inspection done, and passed. Hoping the CEL stays off for good...

Changed the plugs out yesterday, the gap on the plugs that came out we well over .080. They should have been .051 to .057. The replacements were all gaped at .051. Installation of the front 3 was really easy, the back 3 not so much. The intake has to be removed, as well as the air snorkel...

Yea, I'm gonna start with the plugs first. I wasn't able to get it to misfire yesterday, but the 430 came back about 40 min after I cleared it. I cleared it again and it hasn't came back, yet, that I am aware of (wife is driving it today).

Car diagnosed, CEL did not have the P0300, P0305/306 code when at the dealer, but rather P0430. Dealer suspects bank 2 catalytic converter, quoted me $790 for a new cat and o2 sensors, plus labor. Yea... no. My altima has been throwing the 430 code for nearly a year, it has 190K on it, but...

Made an appointment for Monday with a dealer down the road. Would have liked to have taken to the purchasing dealer, but they couldn't get me in till the 5th. Seems like, if it is the PCM, I'm boned. The explorer is past both the 6yr/60K on time and mileage, and the 8yr/80K on mileage. It...

Our 2011 just started doing this, under heavy acceleration 3800ish RPM and above. Check engine light finally stayed on so I could pull the codes, P0300, P0305, P0306. Started a few weeks ago, seemed to have went away, but now is back and reproducible. Car just turned 90K, wondering is I...

Was there ever a recall issued for this? Our 2011 Ex just started popping yesterday, 69k miles. Can feel the pop at the top of the drivers side strut too. Ugh!

60K on our Ex and the fronts look to be only half way worn. Amazing with how heavy my wife is with the accelerator and brake pedals. The backs are only heavily worn on the inside pads, the outsides look to have more than half left too.

So, watching a youtube video on the explorer's rear brakes, there is apparently a rust issue with the caliper bracket not allowing the pads to slide, thus causing the uneven wear. Did you guys address this? Also did you put anti seize compound on both sides of the brake pad clips?

We've got nearly 60K on our Ex. Just did an oil/oil filter/cabin filter change and tire rotation yesterday. When I checked the pads, the fronts looked fine, the backs however is a different story. The inner pads were about half the thickness as the outer pads, on both sides. Is this normal...

Had a similar noise, but coming from the lower drivers door (speaker area) or under the dash. intermittent, but usually pops up on very windy days or on the interstate at 70mph or faster and in the wind turbulence created by the semi trucks. Dealer has looked twice and cannot find the source...

I have a 2011, certified Explorer. Has slightly less than 57000 miles on it. The TSB for the A pillar came up today, as I took it in for a noise coming from that area. I'm not 100% sure, but I believe its already been done once. Anyway, I'm being told that I'd have to pay for the TSB service...

The mustang I ordered (back in 2001) came in with the rear bumper all scratched up. Apparently a chain swung loose on the rail car. That was a PITA. Still can't explain why it was shipped with a broken A pillar trim piece though...
