Long time follower, first time posting. 2021 Ford Explorer ST. Looking for the anchors for the undercarriage cover panels, that are on both sides of the car. Some are not holding, some are missing, some won't push on far enough to catch a thread, and someone actually used zip ties to hold a couple places intact.
These things rattle, and it's gotten annoying.

also, anyone have a problem with:
a. their transmission slipping,
b. hesitation in the pickup when slightly hitting the brakes, then back on the gas? Mine hesitates sooo bad....

Thanks in advance

You can ask Benny at @Levittown Ford Parts about the anchors. I'm sure he can help with that.

I have a '20 ST with 40,000 miles. No issues with the transmission.

I occasionally feel some hesitation when pulling away while light on the throttle with what I believe is a combination of low rpms, low boost, and the transmission not being in a low enough gear at the moment I want to accelerate. I don't do much stop and go driving, so that could be why I don't notice it very often.

Welcome to this forum! Some members have had similar issues with the throttle by wire system. Those members replaced the parts but it didn't always eliminate the issue. They had the dealer flash the PCM, and install new software with updates which worked.
