2012 New Ford Explorer

[3ple4]

Bro, may nakita akong ad sa fordclub na binebenta niya explo niya for just 1.8m. Just months old and 10k kms natakbo. Hehe

Hanep ah, talagang nilaspag at ginamit ng husto tapos ibebenta kaagad. Para lang siguro masabi na "naka-own ako ng Explorer"

Guys, how do you operate your Explorer's aircon? Kasi ang alam ko you don't have to switch off the aircon when turning off the engine parang noong dinemo ko. But I always do it the traditional way, switch off aircon then turn off engine and vice versa. Ang naiinis lang ako is... whenever I switch on the A/C, palaging naka-off yung air recirculation button (yan ba tawag dun), ang hassle kasi I have to push that button to turn it on. Tsaka yung temperature, palaging naka-auto mode. Hindi ba pwede kung ano yung last setting mo, e yan din yung same setting in the future?

In general, ang nakagawian ko is to shut-off the aircon compressor about 500mtrs from my final point of destination & just let the blower run. Then before shutting of the engine, i will turn off the blower. For explo, i just switch off the ac then off-the engine. So when i turn on again the engine, only the blower will auto start to run, then after engine sa stabilize, will i turn on the AC, followed by the internal circulation, then dual switch on, in that order.

just leave the a/c on when you turn off the engine para pag on ganon pa din ang setting. btw sino na nag pa projector dito kay garyq?

Sure ka talagang pwede ganyan? Natatakot ako baka masira pag hindi sinasara muna yung aircon. Pero ganyan yung old BMW 5 series namin, no need to switch off aircon but that's BMW, iba ang quality hehehe!

Baka pwede na bumili ng mags dyan pang palit sa Explo. Maganda ba mga mags na binebenta nila?

makikisali lang sa discussion

i also leave the AC on when shutting the engine, you'd notice that there is a delay on AC deployment when starting the engine.

i have been doing this practice on my Ford Focus for 6 years now and no issues with AC yet

can you take pictures of it, don't really know what exactly it is you're talking about.

Owners of the Explorer 2012, 2013 : Do ANY of you regret your purchase? would you have bought another vehicle knowing what you know now about your Explorer? Reason Im asking is I'm close to the point of no return hehe. Either I get it or I dont.

Basically, are the gremlins (electronic, mechanical, power features, fit and finish) keeping you up awake at night? Can the CASA fix your gremlins?

thanks

i bought mine through their in-house scheme but that's fine with me because if look at it, the patrol and land cruiser is priced at 4-5M but the explorer is much better than both those cars in my opinion. my only regret is i didn't wait for the new explorer which is packed with more features i don't care if it's more expensive i just want the extra features the new ones offer. i'm very satisfied with the current one. i usually sell my car every 3 years and buy a new one but for this one i plan to keep longer.

its the row of red lights near the windshield driver side, it lights up on starting and when it light, its usually accompanied with a beep. will try to post a pic tomorrow, BTW our is the 2013 model......

thanks foresterx! For the others, what are your gripes about the vehicle?

Reason i asked is because mine is super close to being delivered . But Im willing to let it go to the legions of many people in the waiting list if the niggles and problems are many. I heard that even the 2013 models have electronic issues and power tailgate issues and the usual ford sync issues.

I got mine Dec 2011. I'm satisfied with my unit and no complaints so far!

I don't know if this is a complaint but I wish FGP could have also imported the base model or XLT, I don't really need the power liftgate & power seats (manual will do) because I think in the long run, masisira din mga yan or maybe I'm just being too paranoid? Hehehe

Review: 2012 Ford Explorer Limited FWD With Ecoboost

"The Explorer has a collision warning system that flashes a red light on your windshield as well as beeping loudly when it thinks you might hit something....."

3ple4, there's already a XLT variant of the Explorer here, the 2.0 Ecoboost 4x2. Yun nga lang, 2.0 Ecoboost ang makina and it also has a power liftgate, but no power 3rd row seats, no high tech features of the 2013 Explorer V6 Limited, no Sony Audio system, and no push start engine ignition button with smart key.

I was referring to the XLT version na V6. Pero tama ka naman, may XLT na tayo dito, Ecoboost lang nga Kahit base model pwede na sa akin, tutal ang habol ko lang naman sa Explo ay yung external profile kasi head-turner talaga. Happy na ako kahit de-susi ang ignition at manual yung adjustment ng seat at kahit walang touch screen head unit tutal old school din naman ako hehe!!!

No. GPS is still unavailable for the 2013 Explorer. It will work if Sirius Satellite Radio will become available here
