    LMAO Spellcheck only worked on the subject field.

    2021 Ford Explorer Ltd Fuel Gauge not registering accurately

    It's all based on what your mileage on the last tankfull was. As soon as you start driving it will adjust to your actual driving habits and mileage for the new tank of gas. The opposite is also true. I've seen it stand still or virtually still at miles to empty for 50 miles or more as it learns...

    B-Pillar Cracks under plastic.

    Under what warranty? I have a 2020 as well and it only has about 10K miles left on the powertrain and less than a year and I purchased Ford Protect PremiumCare through 2026.

    2020 Explorer Issues - 4WD Fault, Pre Collision Assist Not Available, Service Advance Trac

    The service advisor said they repair based on what codes are present but he knew about the 2 sensors and the wiring harness and had experience with both fixes for other customers. Mine was under TSB 2174 for the front axle as seen above. If it's not fixed for me then there are 2 more remedies I...

    2020 Explorer Issues - 4WD Fault, Pre Collision Assist Not Available, Service Advance Trac

    I just had this done under powertrain warranty. I had the codes and grinding noise when turning backing in and out or making a u-turn and the car also drove lurchy with intermittent disconnecting and reconnecting of front axle AWD. It took about a week to complete and was provided a free rental...

    Lincoln Aviator production will end in Chicago by 2028

    Lincoln is doing very well actually. No one buys sedans anymore so they were smart to only do SUV's. The new Nautilus is amazing, I drove it and it's getting great reviews. There is no Ford counterpart. The Edge will only be sold overseas. Never before have Lincoln designs been so different from...

    Wow same parts failed at same mileage? It's like they designed it to last a short time!

    Lincoln Aviator production will end in Chicago by 2028

    Yeah no 3-row EUV from Ford or anyone else for a while, so Kia EV9 will dominate the market. I've seen one on the road recently and it looks so futuristic like out of a sci-fi movie!

    2025 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator drops active park assist 2.0

    I'm not worried that much about being hit from behind and love the auto-hold. This was the first vehicle I ever had it on and love it. I think it's the same as you applying the brakes with your foot or maybe the same as the parking brake. The brake lights definitely come on with auto-hold. As...

    2025 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator drops active park assist 2.0

    I don't NEED it but I use it every time and LOVE it and WANT it on every vehicle I drive now. I'm not losing features with every new vehicle I always want to gain new features and not give up old features. After watching so many people struggle to maintain speed on the highway, not staying in...

    Throwing every code

    For the same error messages this time they ordered two half-shaft disconnects for the front axles. It is NOT a sensor this time. Last summer they replaced the half-shaft speed sensor. I also had both front CV axles replaced last year due to leaking grease from the boot. The advisor said it...

    GOOD NEWS: I got an update today. This time they ordered two half-shaft disconnects for the front axles. It is NOT a sensor this time. Last summer they replaced the half-shaft speed sensor.

    2020 Explorer Issues - 4WD Fault, Pre Collision Assist Not Available, Service Advance Trac

    Mine is in the shop now and the service advisor said the work to be done will be based on what codes they find in OBD. He mentioned 2 sensors and when I showed him this above TSB he said he's seen one of those done before too.

    2025 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator drops active park assist 2.0

    I'm very disappointed in Ford! I have used this for the past 9 years since my Lincoln MKZ and the 2020 ST had the newer version which did even more of the parking for you. I use this nearly every day and love the feature! If Lincoln will continue to have the feature, I'll buy a Lincoln next...

    2020 Explorer Issues - 4WD Fault, Pre Collision Assist Not Available, Service Advance Trac

    Hopefully they will do this and not replace a sensor again. Mine was ok for about 6 months or more after the half shaft speed sensor was replaced and software was reset.

    2020 Explorer Issues - 4WD Fault, Pre Collision Assist Not Available, Service Advance Trac

    How many miles do you have? I had this happen at around 43K miles and now again at almost 50K miles.

    2020 Explorer Issues - 4WD Fault, Pre Collision Assist Not Available, Service Advance Trac

    I'm having this too intermittently but also have some sort of drag or resistance (kinda like driving with the brake on) when making a U-turn and also turning out of a parking space and turning into my driveway. In 2 weeks it's happened about 3 or 4 times so it's very intermittent. I'm having...

    'CHECK HEADLIGHT SYSTEM' warning on Dash

    I believe the Platinum as adaptive LED headlights so the error is probably related to that feature. The other trim levels don't have that feature and seems all of the people with this problem are all Platinum owners.

    Ford premium care extended warranty

    Same here and over 14 months later have yet to use mine. Everything has been covered under powertrain, recall, TSB or bumper to bumper so far. I now have 48K miles and 36K miles and 34 months left of full warranty. I paid $1500 for my 4 year extension.

    Ford Active Park Assist To Lose Parallel Parking Feature

    I used it on my 2013 MKZ and continue using it on the 2020 ST. Love this feature and wish more people would use it. I hate watching drivers who can't parallel park and end up blocking traffic and even give up sometimes.

    2020 Explorer ST Sunroof Sunshade issues

    A little over a year ago I decided to buy an ESP for 4 more years of warranty based on my slew of past problems and repairs. It was either that or trade it in before the 3 year warranty ended. i think so far I made the right decision. Hopefully the worst is behind me at 48,000 miles...
