My Issues with my Explorer
This New 2023 Ford Explorer ST Line 4wd. Looks Great ...Drives great...but...there are a couple things that I truly hate . #1 I can't see when I backup when it's raining ..the backup Camara gets foggy and blurred from the water on it...#2 this car makes lots of different noises after I turn it off...I means they just random throw out a noise from the engine up to an hour I have heard them. It's kinda creepy. #3 I have crazy gleches with the Screen weather it's the radio not wanting to work to the GPS going haywire. This does not happen often but it does happen. - Purchased a New car

Ford is not reliable any more
After 7300 miles , the suspension started clicking , making noise for no apparent reason. Piece of garbage this SUV. Not in mine but the transmissions are having tons of issues , recalls , such a crazy situation with Ford. That’s a shame I really like how they look , beautiful SUV - Purchased a New car

Collision Aid not available
I am starting to get a notification saying my collision aid is not working. I have checked my rear view mirror camera for an object or damage to the Windshield, also checked rear camera over the license plate. Neither camera seems to be an object or a damaged windshield. - Purchased a Used car

2023 Ford Explorer XLT
Have only had vehicle for 3 weeks but really like it. I’ve had F150’s for the past 12 years and thought I’d miss my truck, but I’m really enjoying this explorer. It’s more comfortable and fun to drive and the gas mileage is better. - Purchased a New car

Too few technicians for too many warranty repairs
3 weeks after I bought my 2023 Explorer my AC broke. No buggy, stuff happens until I tried to get it fixed. One dealer wanted me to leave it for 3 days so they could diagnose and then tell me how long to fix it — with no loaner. 3+ days no car and my problem. After calling multiple dealers best I could get was appointment 6 days later — without AC in Phoenix. This is BEST I could get.In chatting with dealers I am told only warranty certified technicians can do the work. Bottom line is too many warranty repairs for too few technicians. Don’t buy a Ford before calling a dealer and try to set up a warranty service. Until they get quality up or more technicians certified, don’t risk it! - Purchased a New car

Nice vehicle
Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis. - Purchased a New car

Impressive
This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet. - Purchased a New car
