I'm not able to find where they recalled this anywhere. Maybe the 23" isn't part of that. And they sure didn't say anything about it when I had mine in the dealership the other day. Now I am on the hunt for another bolt to make it 4 instead of 3. I love my 23" now that we figured out what that annoying clunk was coming from the front end. It took two trips to the dealership and a loaner car, but I got it back and while they were removing the right front strut for replacement they noticed the upper bearing had separated. So they installed a new RF strut, upper bearing, strut mount, and did an alignment. Problem solved!!! Reading through the invoice it says “Found SSM 52405 for front strut noise and vehicle falls within build date of SSM criteria" So Ford is aware of this issue somewhere along the line. I know a lot of folks are experiencing this same issue and no one seemed to have a solution I could find. Except that the dealerships were telling them it was normal. DON'T buy that crap if yours is making what sounds like a strut or ball joint noise from the front end!! Either way, I am selling this thing before the warranty is up!!

Arizona Here! I just got a '22 ST and seeing this happening to users all over the forums... Just ordered the AWR Racing Rear Diff Mount from Whoosh for it to help secure and give it another holding point then the SINGLE bolt that Ford removed the second prob to save a few penies... ugh.... The ST is my wife's new fun vehicle while I have my vette. That ST is a freaking FUN truck.... Mishimoto Intercooler, aFe CAI (Oiled), aFe strut tower brace, AWR Rear Diff Mount, high flow catted down pipes, making my own tune via HPTuners, and of course the black wheel lugs, why they have the black out package with black wheels on my black ST, and chrome lugs... ugh...

The 2020+ explorers are garbage. My ST was in the shop so many times ford sent a $250 gift card for my troubles. Air conditioning broke 3 times, the drivers seat plastic broke, the drivers seat positioning had a 30 sec delay that never could get fixed, the electronics systems were always slow and laggy as fuck, the transmission started downshifting hard, the exhaust rattle, and the window controls went bad. All of these are very common issues in this generation explorer. Got rid of it at 32k miles just when the AC broke for a 4th time 😂 went back to Lexus quality, reliability, and dependability.
@hochhaul Жыл бұрын
Depends on the model. Some new Lexus vehicles are mediocre at best. The 2020+ Explorers show exactly what would happen after the previous Ford CEO declared that the company would cut $8+ billion out of the costs of their new vehicles. The Escape, Explorer, Mustang, and F-150 all have obvious signs of corner cutting to reach that goal. Unfortunately the cost cutting really hurt reliability and durability.

Too bad this isn't a recall.... ugh... they are still producing all ST's with the THREE bolt setup, while the Lincoln Aviator is using the same cradle with the 4 bolts!!! A lot of the forum users have paid to change out to the aviator cradle and go after ford for re-payment and have succeeded... If this snaps on mine, I am doing this... The diff has the holes in it for the bolts, so you could buy the aviator cradle that has two bolts and bushing in it and not just one and swap out yourself too...

It's fairly modified.... you did void your warranty by the actions you've done. Get over it. If a dealer isn't willing to look a blind eye then great but you cannot be upset if they follow the rules. The way it works is the average cost per vehicle of warranty services are built into the margin of the vehicle so the more warranty abuse people do the high the price of cars will creep. "You break it you buy it" is how I was raised.
