2 years & 2 months na ang Explo ko at mga 3,500 km pa lang ang tinakbo

Isang beses ko pa lang napa-PMS coz I base mine on distance rather than Ford's money-making scheme of every 6 months PMS. And true enough, I get a text from Ford Global every six months reminding me that its time for the PMS

But it's been a year since the last check up kaya papa-PMS ko na din tsaka may warning na ako dun sa control panel saying that its time to change the engine oil (0% oil life na hehe) pero ang alam ko ay pwede i-reset yan para lang mawala yung warning. Pwede nga ba?

Wow grabe sir ah kala ko yung sakin na yung di nagagamit, meron pa pala mas mababa haha. Yup pwede mo siya ireset sa system settings. Anyway, sakin din before inabot na ng 1yr before ako mag pa pms from 5k to 5,700. So naisip ko kahit 700 lang natakbo, pina service ko na din para sure. Now plan ko is 8months max sabi din sakin ng ford. For sure kasi time nanaman mauuna instead of distance.

Sorry typo, it's 7,500 km (not 3,500).

Ah okay. Almost same tayo sir. Mine is almost 7,8t. Im thinking to use the car more frequently kasi this year patapos na warranty. Para if may prob, malaman na agad and mapaayos na.

I got my unit noong Sept. 2012. I now have 17,000 kms. Problems encountered thus far:

1) Exhaust Smell
2) Moon roof rattle
3) Buzzing sound in the windshield - driver side
4) LOUD and ANNOYING Buzzing and creaking sound - passenger side
5) TOO many plastic appliques not attached well to the body (check under the hood)

Feeling ko flimsy ang body nitong Explorer to reduce weight. Madali siyang mag flex thus the noises in front and the moon roof rattle. Para tuloy feeling luma na agad ang unit. Good thing FORD Alabang is very helpful in dealing with these issues (sana maayos lang talaga). Grabe kasi for a P2.6 million unit, dapat minus these issues na.

only thing i encountered so far is the exhaust smell or maybe i'm just playing my music too loud that's why i couldn't hear the rattles.

Sakin din. Madami ako naririnig na rattle/click/ticking sound sa loob naman. Di mahanap ng ford alabang e. Also tried mga ibang solution, no luck. So decided na pabayaan ko nalang siya at magsounds nalang din ng malakas haha. Meron din ako naencounter na hood paint bubbling parang nagputukan na maliliit around the hood edge paikot. Buti nalang na honor sa warranty at inayos ng ford global. Sabi nila madami na din nagawa dun ganon explorer sakit daw talaga due to the sealant chemical
