Tried searching for my issue and couldn't find anything like what I am experiencing so here we go. Another issue has arisen with my Explorer. When it bought it the weather was still cold so I never even thought to check the AC. My old 2011 Explorer blew cold the whole time I had it with no...

So when I bought my car a couple months ago I was going through it to clean as it was filthy and the dealership really did a bad job detailing. So I noticed on the front seats and the sides facing the center console the fabric is loose. There are plastic latch clips at the end of the fabric...

Got my car back finally yesterday. Ford replaced my PTU and thank goodness I bought a warranty because the job cost $3300 but I only paid $200 for the deductible. The service notes state catastrophic damage when they opened it up. Broken teeth on all gears and a hole in the case. Which leads...

Some new info in my repair saga. So after continued odor I was reversing out of a parking spot and felt two large clanks, shook the whole car. The next day it was three loud clanks. Startled me thinking I hit something. So took back to Ford and they finally confirmed what I had been telling...

Yep now I know about these issues so I know to make it a point to check my coolant levels and check my oil.

So interesting to find this thread. I previously owned a 2011 explorer limited which I bought used in 2018. The dealer replaced the strut tower brace and driver side mirror shortly after I bought it and I had no trouble whatsover up until mid last month. My wife started using the car to commute...

I got it from ebay. There is a huge amount of aftermarket cameras to choose from with varying degrees of quality from what I could see.

Well I am going to be more forceful with Ford when I take it back. I am gonna tell them you actually have to drive the car for a bit, then start out turning on the heater and you can get whiffs of it then. Then go park and get out and it will smack you in the face. I almost wish it was...

So not even two days after I got my car back from Ford the smell came back. One day it was really bad to the point where I couldn't even park in my garage because the smell was coming into the house. Had my personal mechanic look and he said to make them change the PTU as it's a known issue. I...

Figured out the culprit. The window switch rattles inside it's housing in the door. Wedged some paper in there and it seems to have corrected it. There is a rattle I can hear outside the door so gonna have to pull the panel and see where that's coming from.

Yes I used surround in my 2011 and it sounded great but not so in the 16. So weird. But I will try your suggestions, thanks!

Yeah I am going to take the door off again and check for anything loose inside and try and pinpoint the issue. Thanks

So after a few weeks of having my 2016 sport I'm noticing that the Sony system seems to be a bit worse coming from my 2011 limited. I really liked the sound system in my 2011 limited and I expected the same experience in my 2016 sport and that hasn't been the case and I don't know why. The...

So got the car back from Ford. When I had called them they said there was a bulletin from Ford about the smell so they were checking seals and everything. When I got it back they said they couldn't find any issues and the smell hasn't come back. Perhaps they tightened a seal or something and...

So in my 2016 sport with the Sony system I have noticed what I thought was the speaker going out. So I popped the door panel off and replaced the speaker. Now I'm still hearing what I thought was speaker static but now seems to be coming from something in the door. Anyone know of any loose...

So on my 2016 sport with 105,000 I started noticing a smell like natural gas or rotten eggs when in the car and outside the car. Got so bad that when the car was in my garage you could smell it in the house. Did my research and it appears my power transfer unit is shot. The PTU on AWD vehicles...

Ah okay got you. Is there a walkthrough you can point me to to accomplish this with forscan?

So when I bought my 2016 sport the dealership only had one key fob. I ordered a second one from ebay and have it now so.my question is do I really need a locksmith to program the new one? They are charging $165-$200 in my area and ford wants even more to do it. I've read conflicting things...

I had a faulty camera in my 2011 limited. Lines went away and the image was reversed. Replaced with a new camera and issue was resolved. I didn't need to program anything. Only issue with aftermarket cameras is the image tends to be a bit wider and turning lines may not work.

166,127. So I guess all things considered it held up really well. Until it didn't. Been looking up reliability and apparently ford updated the timing chain design in the 2015 forward so hopefully I won't have this issue again. Gonna change the spark plugs and get a transmission fluid change...

So craziest thing happened. Bought my 2011 limited in 2018. Drove it since then with no issues whatsoever. Then week before last my wife is driving home from work and it starts running rough on her and overheats. I put coolant in it and immediately see it dripping onto the ground. Long story...

So it turns out it was the APIM was the issue. The seller sent me a new APIM and that fixed the microphone issue. But funny story. My 2011 explorer timing chain broke which killed my water pump which caused the engine to overheat which damaged the head gasket. So I bought a 2016 explorer sport...

I got it off ebay. But I will try disconnecting and reconnecting it and see if that helps the issue. Thanks for the input. The seller said he would send me a new one but I am gonna try and disconnect and reconnect today

Thank you for the info. I just got my forscan cable in the mail so gonna see if maybe there is a setting for the microphone that is turned off or something. Gotta figure out how to get started with the forscan stuff

Actually going through the Ford site it asks for my VIN but I am using a sync 3 unit that was programmed by the seller to my VIN. Is there a way to do this without messing up my current programming?
