*tidus: di ba ok service sa ford edsa?

*macsd: my friend got his unit today, one day earlier hehe! i think you should transfer your reservation to ford edsa.

*silverworx: mukhang ok talaga sa ford edsa. my friend reserved for a gray unit end of december and got his unit today! ang bilis! ang alam ko cash payment with the usual freebies that you mentioned. yung akin nga sa ford global, hindi libre lto reg, 'buti sa edsa libre din lto reg.

Damn bro i'm happy for you & your friend. I called up edsa just now, meron din sila pila. SA will get back at me kung gaano na kahaba ang pila. Actually, global sales manager called me up the other day after i complained them directly sa FORD Phil. He committed to honor na yung mga agreement namin about gas coupon & wala ng force tint scam. Also he said there's 80% chance i'll get my unit this month. Cguro they really want to serve me out kc i'm now their head ache as Ford Phil is watching the progress of my complain so much so that their customer service called me 3X the other day just to check & update me.

Let's see first how it goes, before i start dealing with edsa. What i've learned is Edsa is sole dealership unlike others that are branch out thus unit get's to be divided.

3ple4: after final talk with Edsa SA, it turn out that their deal is mandatory inclusive of inhouse compre insurance kailangan kunin sa kanila who's price is mind boggling. As it turn out, their insurance cost is near 2X from what is can get. I'll just stick with global kc payag naman silang tapatan yung insurance ko so fine with me. hopefully lang, makasama na ako sa delivery this coming last week of Jan pra exacto sa bday ko. tapos honor pa nila yun 20K gas coupon which we signed last Nov.

Hi Guys share my story,

I get my unit last week, a bronze metallic, have done undercoat/rust protection at ziebart makati last monday when i get the unit yesterday napansin ko may rattle noice sa left A-pillar at 10kph,di ko mahanap kung saan yun ingay,I bring it to casa today then they test drive, and they also heared the rattle sound, kaya lang they dont know where it from, kc bago lang yun explorer di pa daw nila naencounter,tinawag nila planta then set a schedule n yun technician fro planta ang titingin, after that I go back to ziebart makati I ask kung paano ang process sa rust protection, kaya lang di rin nila masabi kung sa kanila ba yun problema bakit may rattle sound, kaya i decide na bumalik nalang wait for the schedule check up from Ford, then tinakbo ko ng bulacan,sa biyahe di ko na open yun radio as i observed may tunong talaga, di ko sure if nakuha ko last week may rattle sound na o wala kc maganda ang sound ng explorer halos wala ko naririnig na ingay,kaya ko lang napansin kahapon dahil naka off yun sound system, nakaka bad trip!!!
paguwi ko kanila biglang nawala yun rattle! kahit rough road,they slex wala rin ingay, di ko tuloy malaman kung anu ba talagang problema,

those explorer unit owner did you experience then rattle sound? sa bandang A-pillar sa may dashboard

[apple5]

rattle sounds like vibration of plastics,tig!tig!tig! sounds like that weird talaga!

[3ple4]

*apple5: I think in the US, the early units have the rattling side in the A-pillars. So far wala naman rattling sound yung akin, also bronze like yours. I got mine in Ford Global and mine came with rustproofing. Di ko pa na-check talaga sa ilalim but dun sa release order, nakita ko naka-indicate na kasama ang rustproofing.

Share ko din story ko about the MyFord Touch...

Two nights ago, I forgot to turn off the radio when I switched off the engine. When I switched on the engine again, the MyFord Touch broke down... long delays in the touch screen... some colors in the screen were missing, etc... So I waited for half an hour hoping that given the rest period, it will go back to normal. Pero hindi, ganun pa din. So what I did was to do the cause of all these problems (re: switch off engine while radio is turned on). So when I started the engine again, MyFord Touch when into automatic repair/maintenance mode. Na-sense siguro ng system na may problema so sya na sarili nag-repair. After that ok na.

Problema na lang ngayon is di na gumagana yung ambient lighting It doesn't change color, always stays in blue. Ewan ko ba, papatingin ko na lang sa schedule maintenance checkup next week. Sa Ford Global kasi they told me to go back after one month (or 2 months, pwede din daw) for a free maintenance checkup.

[apple5]

[3ple4]

*apple5: since pareho tayo kumuha sa ford global, yung unit mo walang kasamang rustproofing? Double check ko nga yung akin kung meron ba talaga

[apple5]

May nakapag change na ba sa headlights ng explorer?saan kayo nagpakabit? Medyo madilim sa gabi, I ask the accessory wala pa daw silang available n hids for explorer

[apple5]

*3pple4 sabi ng SA ko may rustproofing daw from planta,sinilip ko parang wala naman,

[109]

guys, sanay na ba kayo sa side view mirror?

[3ple4]

Yeah, the left side mirror is such a pain to use since I'm not used to magnification of the lens. That's why I look at the upper left portion of the mirror because the magnification is the normal as with other cars. Gusto ko na nga palitan pero wala pang replacement ang Ford.

Another question regarding the MFT... it's fun that you can play music from your phone via bluetooth and have them played in the Explorer's radio. But I noticed that I can't transfer pictures via bluetooth, am I correct? Dapat yata via sd card or usb.

[SLK]

[apple5]

*3pple4 did you change you headlights?

[3ple4]

*3pple4 did you change you headlights?

Nope, I'm happy with the stock headlights! Hindi ko din kasi pina-full tint yung windshield, visor lang para sa gabi hindi sobrang dilim. Actually there's one person here in this thread who changed to HID. Look at the previous pages!
