    "blind spot detection with cross traffic" fault in the rain

    This morning while driving in the rain (steady rain, but not driving through deep puddles or anything) I got a fault on "blind spot detection with cross traffic" It cleared itself eventually. (Very annoying because it leaves bright yellow lights on both side mirrors). Is this cause for...

    2020 vs 2022/23 xlt 202a and 2022/23limited stealth packages , HELP!

    Although I share the concerns about more moving parts to break and maintenance I now LOVE my folding running boards. They are at a much better height (half way between the ground and the floor). They are also large and more comfortable to stand on when working on the roof (I use a roof pod...

    Remove Trailer Hitch Cover???

    I used a plastic trim removal tool (a small plastic pry bar) between the cover and the bumper between the 2 tabs WHILE pulling. It seems to help. Recently I sprayed a little silicone spray on the tabs and that seems to have helped a lot.

    Special Service Message 51789 - 2022-2023 Expedition/Navigator - Power Liftgate Not Fully Opening When The Vehicle Is Locked - Built on/before 5-13-23

    I think I have this issue. If I open the lift gate via the remote control all is well. If I open it by using the button on the handle it often just unlatches or opens very slightly. Does this mean I have the problem?

    2010 Expy Horror Story - Content warning not for the squeamish

    So in summary your opinion seems to be: I (as a lay person) brought my car to a business that is licensed and advertises safety inspections and the fact they they missed this obvious problem is my fault. You seem very smart.

    Help - Dome light deactivated!

    I have been dwelling on this and I think I know what I did to drain the battery. I like to open the windows during the day to keep it cool, and close them at night (in case it rains * to keep out bugs). I am pretty sure I turned the vehicle "on" and left it on by mistake. Going to another...

    How do the radiator shutters operate?

    Does anyone know (or have a link) that describes the radiator shutters? I am curious when the operate? At high speeds? At very cold temperatures? etc. Never had a vehicle with these before and I am curious. Thanks in advance.

    Help - Dome light deactivated!

    I thought about that, but it happened the very first night after very little battery usage. Mostly just going in and out once and a while to grab stuff. I even left the running boards deployed to prevent them going up and down every single time.

    Help - Dome light deactivated!

    I recently went car camping with my new expy (2023 SPP). It did something very strange. I was in and out of the car repeatedly as I use it for storage while camping. I occasionally turn it on (not running, just on) to open or close the windows. At some point is seemed to go in to a weird...

    Can the GPS accept coordiantes?

    Was I supposed to get a printed manual?!?

    Can the GPS accept coordiantes?

    Can the 4th gen GPA accept coordinates instead of an address? I am headed to a festival in farm country and there is no street address where I am headed. It would be handy to use the coordinates.

    2023 Limited - 2nd row captains chairs - Do the arms come off?

    Thanks. That is way more effort than I want to do. I was sort of hoping there was a trick to just pop them off. Part of me regrets not getting the 2nd row bench seat like I had in my last expy (big flat surface) but part of me saw the opportunity for more cubic feet right on the floor. I...

    2023 Limited - 2nd row captains chairs - Do the arms come off?

    I have a 2023 Limited with 2nd row captain chairs. Do the inboard arms on the 2nd row chairs come off easily? I am packing for camping and I am hoping to get more storage between the folded down 2nd row chairs. Thanks in advance.

    Roof rails don't slide?

    That's the second cheap-out on the truck that makes me scratch my head. I think someone at ford is on crack. Probably one of the bean counters. So I have a $90K truck and * The roof rails don't move so I may have to re-drill my roof pod. * There is no light under the hood. Really!?!?!?

    Roof rails don't slide?

    I've got a 2023 Limited SPP / Loaded. It looks like the roof rack rails don't slide like my 2010? They appear to be bolted on with large torx bolts. Am I missing some adjustability? The owners manual says nothing.

    Driver window auto-up stopped working

    You may be on to something. I stopped at my mailbox, window down. The auto engine stop was active so the engine was stopped. After getting the mail I hit the auto up and took my foot off the brake (thus starting the engine). I wonder if the voltage drop (from using the starter) tricked the...

    Thanks a bunch folks. The reset process worked perfectly. Thanks.

    Driver window auto-up stopped working

    I have to admit I did not think to look there. This seemed like something broke and the user manual typically doesn't cover repairs. My bad.

    Driver window auto-up stopped working

    I have a brand new 2023 SPP. Picked it up in April. Yesterday the driver's window auto up feature stopped working. It will auto-down but not up. Passenger side works fine. What could case this? Is there a fix I can do like some sort of reset. Or does this need to go to the dealer for...

    Has anyone tried the (big) Sync 4A touch screen?

    Some folks prefer more physical buttons. I let them get in my head. When I first got my 2023 with the large screen I sort of loved t and sort of regretted it. Now that I have had it a couple of months I just love it. I think some of the people who don't like it haven't really lived with it and...
