    Liftgate randomly opens when doors are closed

    Mine is still doing the half way open randomly. I have had it to 2 different dealerships and it is a bit better after the last service appointment they supposedly adjusted the hinge that was misaligned but still having sporadic instances. I have pretty much given up on wasting my time with...

    finding vss 2020+

    Ford has changed the function of the obd plug on 2020+ Explorers and now doesn't allow speed to be monitored by it when installing a radar gun. I am installing a Stalker radar and they make a new cable to connect to the vss signal to acquire the speed. Does anyone have an idea where to tap into?

    New ST - Tune Question

    I have the Livernois tune. After you purchase it they send you the calibrator tool. You scan the vehicle and upload to them. At that point you can ask for types of tunes you want. I got a 93tune and 87 tune just to keep my options open and I am just daily driving so no track. They send you the...

    Ford can put ads on our Infotainment screens, still can't figure out OTA updates...

    probably early work for when they switch sync to Android. Seems like a bad distraction. They will do that but wont let me switch folders when listening to music on my usb!

    Headlights randomly come on, no indiction on switch

    I noticed the headlamp switch had switched to the headlights manually on from the auto position I normally leave it at last night. I wonder if doing the bambi mode switch with forscan may be causing it. I did it a couple weeks ago but last night was first time using fogs and manually triggering...

    Buy back timeline

    My buyback took about 30 days to complete. Once contacted by the RAV team you send them copies of your original purchase paperwork then they send you a list of options on weather you want to buy another or get refunded. I am in Ohio and the lemon law is strict so I think that helped the approval...

    Buy back timeline

    My limited was approved for a buyback (surprisingly even though it has 20k miles) and I looked at the couple posts about buy back procedure but I am not seeing anyone giving a timeline. I was hoping for some suggestions on what to look out for or avoid and how long I might expect the process to...

    Pre-Collision and Powertrain Malfunction Warnings

    After a bunch of visits a few months back where they couldn't figure it out, it turned out to be an axle sensor. Confirmed with a tech yesterday when I was in for another problem that they had a few Explorers that had the issue and the axle sensor fixed it. He said a bad connector

    Truck going back into Ford in the morning for multiple warning messages for the 5th time! 4wd powertrain failure, collision assist not avail, etc etc. They have replaced the cooler and a speed sensor and programming. Guess its time to start sceaming lemon law at them

    Same thing here. This morning is the 4th time all the warnings came up (4wd fault, pre-collision assist not avail, powertrain malfunction) First time they replaced the trans cooler and line.
