Just completed a 1,930 mile week long vacation with the wife and 2 daughters (7&10). Never been to Mt. Rushmore and it was really cool. Anyone who has not been there should make the time. On to the important part...
the Explorer.
About 8 hours into our drive, I thought when I got home I would make a thread about my fabulous Ex and how awesome it was on this adventure. It was very comfortable and easy driving. The navigation worked good using voice or the touchscreen, although some roads were quite out of date. Tracked each tank of gas. Best tank got 25.4 mpg, worst was 20.7. Entire trip got 23.1 mpg. The avg. mpg calculation on the screen usually showed less than actual by about 1 mpg. But then...
one of my many times waiting on my 3 girls to get to the car, I looked at the MFT screen and saw what looked like a crack. Very light crack that went from one side across the middle of the screen to the other side and circled back. The sun had to be shining just right to see the crack.
The next day, I tried to type in an address for the nav on the screen. I pushed "D" and it gave me "G". Everything I typed went in wrong. Using voice command, I could get my destination set, but she would take us the looong looong route everywhere we went. With each day, more and more cracks could be seen and the touchscreen worked worse and worse.
Very disappointed as my MFT has worked good other than minor problems when pairing Iphones. Went to my dealer as soon as I got back to town and they have ordered me a new screen.
I think I have uncovered yet another issue with MFT. Don't remember anyone mentioning a cracked glass on the screen.
