- 2011 Explorer Limited 4WD
Hey guys, I just bought a used 2011 Explorer Limited, and I am having a small issue with the rear cup holder. this is the one that comes out of the center console. I assume you would push it in to open and close, similar to the glasses stow in the center roof console, however it was down when I bought it, and when pushed in, it just falls back down. is there springs, or some other mechanisim that keeps it in place, or is the thing just broken? I am leaning towards the broken route, and I think I can just buy the cup holder, and not the entire center trim, but not sure. any help/thoughts would be appreciated. I am also getting the terrain management fault that I have read about on here, but mine is slightly different then described. it's been cold since i got the explorer, and it seemed to do it in the mornings, after I would drop the kids off, the wife off, and then get to the office. this was about 18 miles total. it would throw the error when i would pull into my spot at the office, and put it in park. it never threw the error while in drive. it would do it almost every day in this same mannor. It would have been the third time in park each morning, in sucession, with the car never being turned off. turning it off, cleared the error of course. now here's the interesting thing. we bought this used, and the nav SD card was removed, so I ordered a replacement one. when it arrived I had to upgraded MFT through syncmyride.com to v2 3.5 I believe. I can't get to syncmyride at work, but I can get the exact version when I get home. anyway after upgrading and driving for a week, it's only happened twice, and only when putting it in park. I am going to get the dealer to look at it, and maybe the cup holder too tomorrow when I get them to fix a couple minor dings that we noticed before buying, so we will see what they say. I also switched the headlights out for zXe's, but I think i need an HID upgrade. We traded a loaded Acadia SLT2 for this loaded limited, but it didn't have HID's, and our acadia did, and I want them back... overall I am glad we made that decision. Both handle/ride the same, but after having 1 transmission replaced at 70k, and having it feel funny again at 90, I was done. that was my first, and most likely last GM... been a blue oval guy for years, so I shoulda known better...
