Ours just turned 43k. Other than the brake moan that I fixed myself with a set of ceramic brake pads and the sorry china battery that took a crap 3 months out of warranty, ours has not given any major issues. I’m not going to blame the battery issue on ford, because, as a mechanic, I’ve seen...

yea I’ve got gorilla hands myself! It was very aggravated for about a month because the door would only lock when I drove it. And then I figured it out that it was the Neanderthal driving it that was causing the problem!

I narrowed it down to operator error for us. It was how I was opening the door that was causing it to lock. I would pull the handle and then push the door open with my knuckles, which would push the lock to the lock position. Once I realized this I haven’t had any more issues.

You are correct, there is a disconnect at the PTU, but that disconnect is a “dog collar” design, similar to a non synchronized manual transmission. The RDU clutch activates first to get the driveshaft spinning, and when the drive shaft is within 30 rpm of the PTU shaft speed, the PTU will...

After pulling my hair out for a month trying to figure out the issue was, I figured out the problem was me! As I opened up the door, I used my knuckle to push open the door as I pulled the handle, and that caused the door lock to push in. Once I figured that out and was aware of it, obviously...

My wife’s bb does this…I have crawled underneath and pinpointed the noise to the RDU (rear differential unit.) after looking in the shop manual, there is an electric motor that will disconnect the differential from the driveshaft, to help with MPG I’m sure. Im going to assume that this noise is...

Our ‘21 big bend has just turned 14,000 miles and has had zero problems, other than the beluga whale mating call while backing up. I’m not worried about it, I’m going to replace the pads myself when some are available. Ours has the recall on the oil separator but I checked ours out and it is...

I’d be willing to bet a paycheck that the harness will be there. I installed factory fog lamps on my fiesta and the harness was there. Now that I say that, somebody will prove me wrong and I’ll be eating ramen for a couple of weeks ?

Oh yeah ours lugs like a bastard in normal. I also noticed that since we’re not having to run the a/c anymore that the cyl deactivation kicks in ALOT! I don’t drive the car everyday, so it is definitely noticeable. I tried to ease around in sport mode when we were looking at Christmas...

They tried to sell me the ford extended warranty. I promptly declined, as I do all my own work on my vehicles. He then stared at me like I had two heads. I’m sure I lowered his cut of selling the ford esp! It’s a shame they almost have to scare you into buying a warranty, because “it’s...

Another member added their Blackstone report, might as well throw mine up for everybody to take a gander at!

Has anybody run into their drive door locking by itself? I have noticed ours will randomly lock with the key still in the vehicle, but all of the other doors will still be unlocked. It desnt do it everytime, just when you least expect it. It has sat overnight with the key in it and has...

My parents have a 2020 explorer that had a similar issue. All the warning lights on, random messages, wouldn’t start. Finally started and the dealer said the battery was bad. They replaced it and it hasn’t done it since

I’d like to take it down to orcacoke island and drive on the beaches down there some. For me, the more remote the beach is the better. I wouldn’t give you a plug nickel for a week paid vacation at myrtle beach. I’d rather stay at home! Now if that week were in ocracoke village then we’d have...

Ohhhh yeah we don’t have the lane centering aid. Just the lane keeping aid. My mistake ?

I’m ready to take ours on a beach trip at OBX. the last time I was there, they were moving the lighthouse. That was quite the experience!

I’m bad to steer into the apex of the curve so it’s a constant fight with the lane centering aid. the steering wheel is constantly vibrating on the narrow windy roads we have in the country around here lol. But I will admit the adaptive cc is nice. our sport doesn’t have it but we had an...

K&N filters had a knack for dusting the turbo on the older diesels due to poor maintenance. I had one on a 7.3 that I had bought and it went in the garbage as soon as I could get a proper replacement. I’m just leery of filters you have to oil to have them filter properly. Not to mention...

I believe that would be the safest option. Find one that has power with key on and you’ll be good to go. I haven’t looked at the fuse panel on ours, so I don’t know what size the fuses are. I have used a fuse adapter that will plug into the place of a fuse, then it has a terminal on it to...

Truthfully there is nothing in there that will power your detector. You may find a 12v source going to the camera, but it will not be enough wattage, not to mention the radar detector could backfeed into a module and cause issues. Your best bet would be to get a dedicated koer power source...
