Hello, Earlier in the year, based on recommendations from other forum members, I purchased a set of LED headlight bulbs and dropped into the 2011 explorer XLT OEM projector housing/lens (yes, I know, big no no) and they worked out great! My son can now clearly see at night while driving. I...

I thought an all new explorer was right around the corner, but I guess not. What is the most recent information we have for the all new explorer? 2019? 2020? I'm looking to replace the 2011 explorer early next year and no offense, don't want the current refreshed style... Wife really wants a...

It's been a while since I posted, not really liking the new format, can't even find the search button. full of crappy ads... Anyway, my wife's AC is not working properly, it shuts off when idle and then starts once it's moving, of course out of warranty on this POS. My guess this is related to...

Rebecca, I had the latest MFT installed yesterday at the dealership, I assumed that the previous issue of having the calendar off would be corrected, but the problem persists. I did a master reset and still the same, how can I correct this? I know this is a minor issue, but seems a bit silly...

I noticed a leak on the clean air duct that goes between the airbox and the throttle body. It's a multiple plastic piece design, hot-plate welded together. I noticed oil traces right were the upper/lower shell of the duct are hot-plate welded to the convolute/bellows portion. This is abour 3-4...

During rush hour commute this morning I saw what appeared to be a stock/production FORD explorer SPORT. It did not have Manufacturer license plate. It had regular plates, probably a FORD employee getting a early production vehicle. Very nice vehicle:thumbsup:, it was black, the "EXPLORER"...

Hello, I remember reading somewhere that after the MFT upgrade that occurred in spring of 2012, the warranty on the MFT got extended to three years from the date of the upgrade?... I can't exactly remember the exact extension of the MFT warranty.... Rebecca, can you help? Thanks,

Who cares about Consumer Reports? I certainly do not, never have signed up to the silly magazines are whatever it is that they sell. :D http://autos.yahoo.com/news/why-the-myford-touch-control-system-stinks.html

Rebecca: We hardly use the turn-by-turn directions sync services. Last night, we had the need to use it and every time I would select call sync services, I would get basically a commercial of sync services, telling me how great the service is, but we could not actually use it. Based on...

As of this morning, you can actually build and price out the 2013 explorer sport!

This morning outside temperature was about 32-34ºF. For almost 1/2 hour, in route to the dealer to get the 12B36 fan PCM reprogram, I could not get heat coming out any of the HVAC ports/vents, in any condition (Auto, Manual, dual zone, separate zone) even when temperature was set to "HI". Then...

We have an XLT, regarding the defrost feature, there is a button in the middle dash that is supposed to turn them on at the same time that the rear glass defroster as well as the heated side mirror. I have noticed that the side mirrors do have a "heated mirror" symbol, but they do not ligth up...

Hello, I am wondering if all the explorers with the NBX package came with the re-badge yakima loadwarrior cargo baskets. If not, are these cargo baskets considered rare? How much can they fetch in pristine condition? Thanks, Here is a picture...

Hello, I am about to change cell phones for my wife, we are looking at a Blackberry Torch 9810 with AT&T, but I do not find it on the sync cell phone compatibility list. I sent a PM to the IVT team and I am waiting for an answer. In the meantime, I am wondering if any the members here...

Sunday driving back from Michigan Mackinaw bridge I got a "Tire Pressure sensor fault" flashing/warning.. Pulled to the side of the road, checked tire pressures and they were all around 38 psi, turned it on again and message was still there. Next day error message gone and everything back to...

We noticed that the "Stitching" on the door armrest on our ex XLT with leather are actually "fake" stitches, meaning it's not thread sewed-in, it's molded as part of the door arm rest top layer. Gives it a cheap feeling/look once you know the stitches are fake. Although at a distance they look...

Pretty interesting, obviously not all-inclusive list: http://stage.autonews.com/assets/PDF/CA7488882.PDF

According to Ford explorer brochures: 2011 3.5L FWD: City 17 MPG Highway 25 MPG 2012 3.5L FWD: City 18 MPG Highway 25 MPG Is this difference in city EPA estimates between 2011 vs. 2012 a typo on the brochures? OR, did they really change something on vehicle, for example engine calibration...

Hi, Yesterday, as I was approaching home, I took off the seat belt a block away from home and I noticed no "belt minder" was activated.. All recent vehicles I have owned always trigger the "belt minder" if disengaged. Not that I encourage driving without a seat belt, but maybe they are...

FORD site has been updated as of this morning, how exciting!:thumbsup: Makes me wish I would have waited for a MY2012, but on the other hand, I would have been without the ex for the last six months:D

Over the weeekend of ex developed a notorious rattle on the back/vertical side of the second row bench. It is highly reproduceabale when you fold/unfold the bench. There is definetely something loose inside. It still seems to lock OK, but I will have this corrected at next oil change. Anybody...

I noticed that while driving at night on single lane back roads, I have been getting a lot of "low beam" requests from in-coming vehicles, even though while driving with low beams. Once I flash them with the high beam, they realize that I have the low beams on. Just wondering if all ex low beams...

I did a search but found nothing regarding the lower valance coming off. I know that there is a TSB out there. Early builds had the valance detaching fairly easily, then they added these ugly looking four plastic rivets, which they currently are installing on the truck after built. Rumor has...

This afternoon our EX developed the well known fan squealing/screech right after engine shutdown when the AC is ON. The coolant temperature is normal, but I am highly concerned that this squealing is the beginning of the end of the dual fan assembly... My question is, do the fan squealing issues...
