Coolant intrusion into engine cylinders causing engine overheating. Due to defective ford 2. 0 ecoboost engine.
The back up camera works sometimes. If we move the shifter from reverse to N or P back to reverse the camera mostly came back on & stayed on until neutral or drive was chosen. It occasionally has the image upside down which is very dangerous. My wife Kay Peca & Tom Peca have problems turning our head to view mirrors with difficulty & pain. That’s why we chose the Explorer. It is dangerous as we can’t see traffic traveling either way behind the car, almost causing accidents as we are blind to see vehicles behind & beside the cars moving from the right or left. Our friends also having Ford cars are experiencing the same problems as the 2020 & newer reported camera problems that seem to be under recall soon. The problem exists from earlier models beside the Explorer. We asked our local Ford dealer on a recall but we were told no. They offered to fix the problem by replacing the camera assembly for a cost of $800 to $2000!! No chance or any repair or switch adjustment offered. I feel we & other owners Ford this is a serious safety problem that needs to be fixed by the manufacturer for faulty parts or connectors? I’m hoping you have other frustrated consumers with the same problems.

Vehicle was at 65k miles and the water pump was leaking. When they went in to fix the water pump they noticed the timing chain had been stretched. Got my car back and not even 2-3 days later i heard a noise (only heard in less than a handful of times prior) and the noise began to be more consistent and found out that my cam phasers went bad. All prior to reaching 70k miles... My vehicle is still only 67k. Later found documentation that timing chain and cam phaser should be covered by ca emissions and the dealer is saying that is not the case. My vehicle fits the attached addendum as it was manufactured on 09/02/2016 and in chicago, il. Dealer is saying this addendum does not constitute as a warranty document, just a notification.

My truck keeps going into a limp mode where there is zero power even when pressing gas pedal. While in limp mode, engine won't rev up at all. In addition, the vehicle begins to show errors such as "service advancettrac", "collision warning not available", "hill start assist nit available". From the research i have done, this appears to be a well-known throttle body issue documented by ford. The question is why hasn't there been a recall. This is extremely dangerous as the truck essentially becomes powerless on the road. Please advise.

While driving on the highway at speed, the front undercarriage cover of the ford mach-e came loose, started vibrating violently, then started dragging on the highway. Thankfully the driver was able to pull over safely. The incident could have caused life-threatening injury to the driver and other vehicles has the part come totally lose, come under a tire, or started hitting the battery system that sits just behind the car. This could have caused the driver to loose control, the part to hit another vehicle, or a fire in the case of the battery system and the violent impact and friction as a result of the vibrating loose part. We took the vehicle to the dealer and they confirmed that there was damage to the undercarriage cover, and also "impact" damage to what is under the undercarriage cover (albeit they assumed the impact damage to be due to user/environment, as you'll see from the pictures, it was likely due to the vibrating loose part itself. ) no warnings or indicators came on before the problem. The vehicle is only 3 months old and used exclusively for city driving/commuting. The car has not been any vehicular accidents or even minor collisions.
