Ford Explorer Change Vehicle

"System quite working. The camera had to be replaced"

"Back up camera stopped working and had to be replaced"

"Took the car to the dealer for an intermediate failure and was told they would have to change the camera at over $900. I can live with it working most of the time. The marker lines do not work now at all. They had no solution."

"It randomly stopped showing the backup camera picture on the dash screen - it just displays an error message stating "Camera is unavailable. Please contact your dealership""

"Failure of back up camera. Required replacement"

"The backup camera quit working and had to be replaced"

"The backup camera had to be replaced. Does not seem like that would happen"

"The video in the backup camera is reversed from the actual scene. In other words, traffic actually coming from the right is shown as coming from the left."

"Backup camera system did not function properly and the camera had to be replaced."

"This was part of the electronic unit. The radio, back up screen, etc.. all apps that would be on the screen"

"by time the car was 3 years old and had under 24000 miles the CD player wouldn't eject. I was told it wasn't covered and sent to an independent stereo company. they looked at it and said contact Ford. I have finally given up after months of asking an"

"Screen totally failed while driving after two years of ownership. Complete unit, with computer electronics, required replacement under warranty. Vehicle difficult to operate without screen since it controls EVERYTHING"

"Almost without fail, I have an annual tune up that includes my Sync system that will randomly shut down entirely when driving or not turn on completely when turning the car over. After this tune up, it seems to stabilize for 6-9 months"

"Screen does not respond when touched"

"The display screen went blank. It was replaced under warranty"

"Entire SYNC system had several issues. Ford/Microsoft installed parts and major update. Problem has been resolved"

"Warranty replacement of APIM"

"Goes blank while rebooting"

"I have a friend who is a mechanic for the city. He fiddled with the wiring behind the car and got it working. He has had to do that twice."

"Module failed, screen went completely blank, couldn't control any heating/cooling/radio, nav, etc. Had to be replace, $1200"

"FORD replaced the Microsoft system since an update crashed it up. It is still terrible. Other then that, the car is great and I would get another one. But because of the terrible Nav system, I will be going elsewhere."

"The emtire electronic unit failed and had to be replaced"

"The car gets lost. The gps shows the car in a location other than the actual location,"

"nav had the actual location of my vehicle different that location on gps screen - diff ranged from a few yards to several blocks"

"Takes too long to capture satellite sometimes"

"Location of car inexact. Often shows the car in the wrong location and not even on a road. Overly difficult to operate. Can never trust this system for directions. I use my cellphone instead!"

"Did not always provide reliable information"

"There were 2 units that went bad, One item is described as 18A02/18842 and the other is DB5Z-15604-B.Both were still under warranty"

"The GPS system sometimes locks up, sometime up to 40 minutes. This is really inconvenient when I'm in a large city, trying to find my way to a destination."

"The GPS takes a long time to acquire the satellites. They replaced the GPS unit that helped but I still have problems taking a long time to acquire. I think they could have done more to fix this."

"GPS would often not work throwing the navigation completely off. Even with an extended warranty took Ford a long time to agree to replace the computer"

"All problems listed were same issue. Control board needed replacement"

"The GPS system remained off periodically for extended time. When it was on, it worked fine, but when off the car was "lost" with respect to the map. During off periods, the navigation feature was useless"

"It will not enter a new route saying "no route is active" - But will not let me enter a new route"

"Complete failure"

"GPS navigation quit working. You could be heading north and it would tell you West or South etc. Something is broke on the GPS system as I have not tried to get it fixed due to cost"

"The navigation doesn't start working until I'm 10 to 30 miles down the highway. I've had it to the Ford service dept. many times and the last time they got it working properly, but it only lasted 3 or 4 months and I still have the issue. I thought it might be because of the remote area I live but others around me don't have any problem."

"The Phone pairing routinely screws up and when calling people it will ring their phone, but not connect. Then my phone will not hang up."

"Periodic/temporary failure to recognize BT connections"

"Not syncing or drops out"

"Constantly struggles to recognize my phone, albeit that I've owned 3 cell phones over the life of the vehicle, but I am still forced from time to time to reset bluetooth on my phone to get the vehicle to recognize"

"Pairing phone that have had for years dropped from Bluetooth"

"significant static on am stations"

"AM radio antenna issue caused complete non function, 2nd time it occurred I had to argue, but Ford fixed with no charge either time"

"I was told that I can no longer update my system because of the age of the car. That is crap. They put it in my car so it should be able to be updated through the life of the car."

"Th unit is continually performing a "Routine Service Upate". Sometimes 2X and hour. And it still can not get the time right. Anything Microsoft sucks."

"Updates suck. Last time I got an update it was already seriously out of date."

"You reset system and voice commands work and them after a time (24hrs) they no longer work. But this does not effect the ability to talk on the phone in hands free mode. Dealer always wan't to keep the car all day and I don't have other means of tran"

"frequently garbled"

"My issue with the voice control commands is since I got the car. Often times I ask it to call someone and it picks someone who sounds nothing like what I said."

"A large amount of water leaked in through the top right of the back hatch when it rained"

"There was water leaking through the tailgate. Even though this was a known problem with the 2011 Explorer and seen many times on youtube, we still had to pay for the fix. Then, they wouldn't paint the white patch put on the vehicle"

"There is a major water leak towards the back. When it rains, water pours in and soaks through the ceiling fabric to drip (a LOT) into the far back cupholder (third row seat). This is recent, so I do not know where the leak actually is"

"WATER LEAKS SEEM TO BE VERY COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE ACCORDING TO ALL THE GOOGLE/YOUTUBE COMMENTS AND VIDEOS THAT I HAVE SEEN. I HAD A SEVERAL LEAKS ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE ROOF RAILS. THE ROOF RAILS HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REMOVED AND ALL THE SCREW HOLES HAD TO HAVE SEALANT APPLIED AND THE ROOF RAILS REATTACHED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH WATER LEAKS IS THAT THEY ARE HARD TO FIND THE ORIGINATION OF THE LEAK. WAY I DISCOVERED THAT WE EVEN HAD A LEAK WAS WHEN I EXAMINED THE SPARE TIRE AREA AND IT WAS FILLED AND I MEAN FILLED WITH BROWN MURKY WATER. I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE ROOF HAS BEEN LEAKING."

"PASSENGER FLOORPAN AND SPARE WHEEL WELL BOTH NOW COLLECT WATER IN ANY RAIN, AS WELL AS IOT RUNNING DOWN THE REAR SHOULDER HARNESSES"

"Right rear cabin side window water leak after heavy downpour from storm"

"Rain comes in in 3rd seat area and drops down 3rd row seat belts. Dealer couldn't find leak so I gave up and just wrap these seat belts with a towel in rainy weather"

"Had a problem with water drains getting plugged, leaking water into the car and shorting out the sunroof motor. The sunroof stuck in the open position and couldn't be closed. Had to tarp the opening to prevent more water damage. This was the second (and third) time the motor was replaced (once before purchasing the car used). Dealership did not clear out drains as a preventative measure."

"Water leaks from the sunroof. Water was 4 inches deep in spare tire compartment and floor board was extremely wet. Ford dealer body shop would not look at issue. I finally found YouTube video that talked about broken seal at rear hatch hinge. Reasled around both hinges. Another video talked about clogged drain lines in front corners of drain trough at sunroof. Lines were clogged. I unclogged the lines with air pressure from air mattress pump."

"Leaked around moon roof"

"weather stripping was not sealed correctly and when the car is put in park it sometimes makes a noise and has to be pushed in again"

"Big water leak in rear passenger quarter panel window weather stripping area"

"Same issue as sun roof leak, Don't know it if related to seals or clogged drains"

"I can't"

"There is a lot of road noise with the Explorer. But there is also body squeaks and rattles. Hard to explain exactly what and where....but they are there"

"There is a mystery rattle that comes and goes. It sounds like its the passenger seat belt mechanism, but not sure"

"This problem seems to be something that cannot be fixed as I've had the truck into the garage to get this fixed and it has not. I've given up on having it fixed. BTW, this has been a problem since day 1"

"The passenger side A pillar rattles when driving 50mph and above. Took it in to two different dealerships and they could not fix even though there was s TSB"

"wind noise coming from the right windshield"

"A piece of trim was loose, made a rattling sound, and had to be replaced. The wind noise is noticeable, especially when there is a strong cross wind"

"The side windshield plates that hold the window in place did not have a foam seal installed on them. This caused excessive wind noise"

"The lower right windsheild cowl plastic near the A piller had a broken fastener clip."

"Vibration noise from windshield trim pieces"

"The design causes the wind noise at times"

"front cowling is too low and catches when parking"

"Trim around front windshield is coming loose"

"Windshield gasket trim is disintegrating. Over $500 to replace a freaking gasket!!!!!"

"Entire front edge of hood has lost much of the paint. Another Ford Explorer owner approached me and complained about the same disconcerting paint peeling issue."

"Front hood edge paint cracking and peeling since 20K miles; Ford nor Dealer would correct... still peeling at 150K miles."

"Paint blistered along the front edge of the hood"

"Paint on the front hood has bubbled up. Dealer is currently in contact with Ford"

"The top of the truck has started to peel paint, it appears much thinner than the paint on the side body or anywhere else on the truck"

"Aluminum hood paint peels and flakes. Known issue Ford does not want to address."

"aluminum hood has corrosion all around the front perimeter, with large flakes falling off. Ford says it's not their problem, but it's reported many times on the internet"

"Front edge of hood began chipping and peeling away at about 25,000 miles. Neither Ford nor Dealer would take responsibility... entire front edge of hood eventually became impacted"

"Paint peeling on front of hood"

"Front Bottom Edge of front doors both started to rust on the lower corners"

"2areas of rust showed up on my tailgate. I showed it to my Ford dealer, but they weren't interested in fixing it. They said since it wasn't rusted through, it was of no concern to them. I am not happy, needless to say"

"serious rust on the panel above the windshield necessitating repairs"

"Severe rust above the windshield, paint bubbling on the hood"

"Rust starting to show above windshield area, lower portions of all doors, a few minor rust spots on tailgate area as well"
