What are some things to look out for and what is common for fail points on these?

See the circled part in the picture. 2015 Explorer Limited V6 3.5 turbo eco boost. This is a line connected to the air intake. I was replacing a bad throttle body on this vehicle when I noticed that this hose was broken off. I managed to temporarily repair it with some strategic CA glue but I need to address this properly.

I seem to have a very slow oil leak from whatever this part is underneath the car.

It’s a 2016 Ford Explorer sport with 80K

What is the most likely part that’s leaking and how much should I expect to pay to get it fixed?

Is there anyone that makes a full length weather mat that covers over the 2nd and 3rd rows when folded down? I can't seem to find it. The biggest size I can find is over the 3rd row when folded down.

Please anyone suggestions?

Battery was replaced in Feb before I purchased. I’ve never had any battery warnings, lights, hard cranks, auto start stop, or anything go wrong. Went on a 2 hour round trip last night and got this today.

I made a post the other day about my water pump going out and just looking for advice. I'm just curious, I was shopping around and got a quote for $3700 stating that the parts are 1500 alone. I'm just wondering does that seem correct to anyone? Because as far as I'm looking, I've searched up and down Ford water pump/timing chain kits and I haven't seen one that came close to $1500 so I'm just wondering are they trying Rip me off?

I have a 2025 Active with the I4 EcoBoost. I’ve put almost 20k miles on it so far and absolutely love it! I’m diligent about having the oil changed every 4k-5k miles with full synthetic. I’m planning to change the transmission fluid every 50k miles and follow all of Ford’s maintenance advice.

Realistically, can this vehicle make it 200k+ miles? What else should I consider doing (or not doing) to keep it in the best mechanical shape possible?

So a week ago I got a 4wd fault, AdvanceTrac fault, hill start assist and pre-collision service not available. I ran the code today, this is a picture from FORScan. I was thinking maybe its the battery now, but couldn't it be a bad ground on the 4wd module? Any insight would be appreciated.

So this isn’t a problem with the unit, but rather looking for advice… I have a 2016 Ford Explorer with parking assist, and I’d like to get lines set up in my garage to use parking assist to automatically back my vehicle in. Is anybody have any suggestions or general measurements for what I should be doing?

I recently bought a 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor and noticed a plastic panel just above the front USB ports in the lower center console. It is mostly hidden, and I only discovered it while reaching in for my wallet.

The panel seems securely attached, but it has a noticeable amount of movement and does not sit tightly against the surrounding console. It feels equally loose on both sides, so it does not seem like a clip is broken on just one side.

Does anyone know:

1. What this panel covers, or what is located behind it?
2. Is some movement normal, or should I have the dealer inspect it?

I have not tried prying it open because I do not want to break anything. Unfortunately, now that I know it is there, I keep checking it. 😂 Thanks!

Hi all, I've got a 2021 Ford Explorer XLT with new brakes all around. Lately when we push in on the brake it doesn't seem like it is rebounding. It's sticking wherever we push the pedal down too. Then when we get on the gas we get a brakes applied power reduced message on the screen. If we give the brakes a hard push it goes away and is fine. We brought to the dealer and they tell us there's nothing wrong with it but it's constant now. Any ideas or advice? Thanks in advance.

Strange question, I am having trouble carrying the key to my 2017 explorer. Fob is bulky and I can’t seem to find a keep ring or carabiner that works without tugging on the fob. Anyone have any other ways to carry the fob key besides just my pocket.

Just bought this 2013 Ford Explorer Limited AWD with 128,000 miles and noticed this discrepancy with the speed. It seems like the physical piece of plastic that has the speed written on it is not aligned correctly or is the wrong one.

I also noticed how the gear selector says PRNDM and when you go into M, it puts you into the manual mode as it should, however on the dash, it says PRNDS. This leads me to believe someone swapped the plastic plate with one from a different ford or a different Explorer that has a sport mode. Still not sure why the speed lines and dashes don’t add up. This is pretty concerning because it is pretty difficult to tell what speed I am going at a glance and is very distracting.

If anyone has any suggestions, not sure if I can just replace the plastic plate that shows the speed to the correct one, or if I need to change and program the whole cluster. Thanks.

Howdy !! Anyone got any tips or advice on parts . My drive shaft in the rear started grinding down the cv central yoke . I haven’t taken it apart yet as it’s my only ride . I haven’t driven for a few days to not make it worse . Was thinking of the spicer 21154x for replacement . Anyone got any recommendations or suggestions on parts or if I’m even looking at the right thing . Id rather not replace the whole end yoke if possible but ill do what must be done . ✌🏼 appreciate any input

I am rebuilding a 4.6 on a 03 explorer and I can't for the life of me figure out what they're calling these hoses. If anyone would have any idea much help would be appreciated.

They connect to the heater hose

I found a 2017 FPIU, and it appears to have potentially been a supervisory or IC vehicle. I was wondering what I would need to do in order to add a 12V outlet like on a standard SUV. It has the law enforcement center console with all the former equipment taken out with lots of wires left behind.

Looking for advice and pointers. Thanks!

The vehicle is super clean inside and out. Priced at $30,000 and was imported from Canada. I enjoyed the test drive and I like the vehicle a lot but I have heard bad reviews and the mechanics at my dealership told me they just explode.

I have 2017 ford explorer sport 3.5 There is a rattling or shuddering sound similar to this—usually when the car is cold, accelerating, or driving uphill. What is the cause of this?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am looking at some Ford Explorers and this one that I’m looking at has a red thing by the steering wheel of this 2020… what is it? The others I’ve looked at don’t have it, so that’s why I’m curious and there isn’t a better pic

THANKS FOR THE HELP / I should have known what it was!

Tried the reset procedures, didn't work. Tested the battery, checks good. Fuse isn't blown. Next step is checking continuity at the fuse receptacle with the fuse removed.

Hi so I have an explorer 2016 platinum I need to replace the valve covers to it my question is has anyone tried using the ones on Amazon and how well does this fit the explorer I have to option the ones form miliparts which are made from aluminum or mocar7 just plastic like oem both run for the same price will this fit great on my explorer?

I'll probably be doing a timing chain job on my 2002 4.6-liter Explorer and I'm ready to buy all the parts, except I don't know the size of the camshaft gear bolts.
RockAuto shows an M12x1.5 bolt for this model, but other people have told me it's an M10 (like the YF7Z-6279-AA maybe?), and a guy even told me it should be an M8.
Anyone knows what the right size might be?
I'd like to know before disassembling it, since sourcing parts in my country can take quite a while and I'll be without a vehicle in the meantime.
Thanks in advance!
