I went to pick my Ford Explorer ST 2021 only to discover - stelladk007
I went to pick my Ford Explorer ST 2021 only to discover the controls on the windshield was starting to fall off. it took four months to get that fixed. since that time we have had multiple problems with this vehicle, for example rear backup assist and backup camera not working and failing mostly every day. I’ve had the SUV in many, many times and the SUV still does not have reliable backup assist. Now the locks are acting up. They frequently do not come open and sometimes we have to climb over the front seat to get to the driver side. Other things are failing. For example, the radio sometimes won’t turn off. When backing up, sometimes the indicator on the dash says there is an object behind the SUV and the car slams to a halt (there is nothing there!). 18 months later, we are still dealing with the back up camera failing, doors not locking or sometimes not opening and controls failing. Also, the battery cannot hold a charge and when it drops to 80% the SUV computer chip says that to preserve the battery charge, the computer on board is shutting down all nonessential features. Very disappointing. This dealership knows about these faults and yet the service department turns the car back to us at the end of each day.
I wonder, if we had an accident because of these faults would ICBC say that’s OK? I think not. Would ICBC pay for repairs to the vehicle and any injuries to people in the vehicle? Steve Marshall Ford seems to think this is OK, and says we just have to wait for parts to be found!! 18 months later? (that our car is unsafe, that our car slams its brakes on for no reason, or that the display panel for the camera blanks to blue screen and the doors don’t lock securely. we are very frustrated -our brand new vehicle first in 40 years, and it’s been a lemon from day one. So upsetting!
