- 2016 Explorer Ltd.
Is it me or are the 2016 Explorer models problematic?
I have a 2016 Explorer Limited with a starting problem.
The car will crank without a problem, but the engine will not start.
The problem started 4 days ago. The first time this happened, I thought the battery was low, so I charged it for about 30 min and tried to start, no luck. I gave up on it and came back after 3 hrs. Tried starting again and it fired right up! Next day I drove to work, no issues. Tried to go out for lunch a few hours later, no luck, car keeps cranking but will not start. Frustrated, left it for a few hours and tried again...it fired right up! Again!! No reason whatsoever!!
Here I am 2 days later, get in the Explorer to go home...cranking good...no start!! Frustrated...I'm reaching out to this forum.
Also need to mention, I've been leasing the Explorer for the past 3yrs. I traded up to a 2016 in November. I am now on my 5th 2016 Explorer!!
2016 #1 - Starter problem
2016 #2 - Touchscreen/Navigation/Heater problem
2016 #3 - Starter problem
2016 #4 - Dome lights stay on, proximity sensors randomly beep while driving
2016 #5 - Starter problem!!!
Ford dealership don't have clue, but also admitted a few 2016 Explorers were serviced for starting problems.
I've also disconnected the battery to 'reset' the system, that worked once.10
Can anyone guide me to a solution?
