I Loooove My Explorer

2011 Ford Explorer Limited 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
After driving my new Explorer Limited for over a month, I can safely say that it is one of the best cars that I have owned.
It is comfortable and has more muscle than my Flex that stayed in the family although out of town.
The Ford Touch takes a little getting used to but is very responsive to voice commands.
We also have a new E 350 in the garage, but is has stayed parked since the … Explorer showed up.
The only con, we can find is the difficulty in programming the garage door opener.

I'm about to contact a lawyer about my 2011 Explorer Limited Lemon. I just spoke with a customer service manager at ford for my dealers district and was basically told tuff cookies! The MFT ( I can think of another word for the F instead of Ford) is junk. Goes black all the time and takes out the phone, stereo, nav, and climate controls. On a 100 degree day the MFT decided to turn on the … heat and defrost full blast and there was no changing it until the car was off for awhile, nice. Ford said there might be an update fix in the first quarter of 2012. Might? might? great!
Just Awesome!!!

After driving a BMW for the past 12 years, I am extremely please with the new 2011 Ford Explorer. Detroit (Ford) has finally caught up with the Japanese and German auto manufacturer. It drives like a luxury sedan and the limited option has all the bells and whistles that you ever wanted.
Lemon - Ford doesn't fix customer complaints

LEMON ALERT!!!!!
FORD has the WORST customer service in their repairs! I have a 2011 FORD Explorer that anytime I park for the last 3 weeks, it DOES NOT REGISTER that the car is on PARK and I turn off the ignition and the car chimes "SHIFT TO PARK" It's in park, and it does this repeatedly and I have to press in and out the black lever on the gear shift 10 or more times before it … "registers" that the car is on park. I have a video of it on my phone, I took a picture of it when I parked at the dealership and they WILL NOT FIX IT because they can't get it to fault. This is NOT my issue alone, just search the internet for the number of people with this issues that DID NOT get fixed!!!!
