    Mapquest

    Someone above said google maps worked but that has been removed. That's what I was referring to. I am having problems with Mapquest. Currently works on office PC and used to work on my home PC and wife's laptop at home. This one is blowing my mind and not smart enough to figure it out. We...

    Mapquest

    google maps does not work with sync anymore. They took Ford off their options. I would appreciate any advice one may have. Why in the heck would this work fine from our home for two years and then quit working all at once. Another weird thing is I sent directions to our car from my work...

    Mapquest

    Does anyone use the send directions to car on Mapquest? If so has anyone heard why it isn't working. hasn't worked for 2 months. I know google maps removed that feature for SYNC last year. Mapquest still shows SYNC as an option but it never send directions anymore. Very disappointing...

    What happened to 'Send to Ford' in Google Maps?

    Rebecca...I spoke too soon. Option to choose address is working but won't send to car still. I hit send and it says "Could not connect to Ford Sync Service" disappointing both services stopped at same time...it was a nice feature

    What happened to 'Send to Ford' in Google Maps?

    The send to car option is there and so is SYNC.# We click on that and then we enter primary phone number but mapquest does not let us pick the destination to send to sync.# Used to work flawlessly untill three weeks ago

    What happened to 'Send to Ford' in Google Maps?

    Rebecca, We noticed google maps option was gone. We can't get mapquest to work now either. We used both and prefer google maps but can use Mapquest. Has anyone got Mapquest to work? I haven't rebooted PC yet but it looks like a Mapquest site issue not PC. I hope mapquest is still working...

    Transmission Rev

    Thanks blwnsmoke. That is exactly what ours is doing. When going down a hill, even a very slight hill, when we move our foot to the brake the car goes to 3,000 rpm when we are slowing down. Confused he hell out of me. Ford dealer said they couldn't duplicate and both my wife and I both told...

    Hail Damage

    Over 30 dents, right now they are repairing the hood but there is one dent that may be too deep to repair and it's going first. If we don't like the look they are going with a new hood. $2900 right now. We had a $500 deductible but the shop is covering it for us. We're sick...they have to...

    Transmission Rev

    I'd like to see the video if you can find it just to compare. We got our car back Friday afternoon after dealer had it two days. We got as expected...could not duplicate so they didn't do anything and as usual said they have never heard this before...what I expected. We did get the 12b36 (I...

    Transmission Rev

    Thanks for the replies...eases our mind a little. We got the couldn't duplicate today. I figured that it doesn't do it all the time but just hoping they knew. Sounds like this site is more useful. Just really hoping nothing was wrong and it doesn't sound like there is and at least it's...

    Transmission Rev

    Has anyone had or noticed this before. I tried to explain it to the dealer this morning but I am not having much faith. I have a feeling they will say can't duplicate and brush it off. Anyway has anyone noticed their RPM's increasing when decelerating? There has been many times when we...

    I have an appointment scheduled for Thu am. Has anyone got this done yet? I have the engine squeal at shutdown. I have not popped the hood and watched yet while the engine shuts down to see what it may be but curious if anyone had the squeal and if this recall fixed it? I think someone...

    3rd Row Cargo Mat

    I purchased the Ford version and have been very happy with it. It's a little less than weathertech and husky. I can't speak to the quality of it versus those two but I have been happy with it for the cost...I think it was right at $90...

    Explorer A-Pillar Rattle/Noise

    Understood, Let's just hope it happens by then if it happens at all. I can understand differences and issues with the technolgy part but it seems like all other parts of the car would either have the issue or not. They use the same part and build it the same way...that's why I'm confused why...

    Explorer A-Pillar Rattle/Noise

    We bought a 2012 Limited on 11-14-11. Build date was 10-25-11. I noticed the TSB for A pillar says models built on or before 11/21/11. Our falls in that range but to be honest I have not noticed this whistling sound from the A pillar yet. We have 5,200 miles on the X so far. Trust me I am...
