2020 Ford Explorer

noise

It makes noises over an hour after I shut it off and get out of it. Crazy!!

Then it started making a metal rubbing noise apon acceleration,  and now it's giving me trouble in reverse.

There are a few sqeaks and the fit and finish of a $62K vehicle could be better.

Lots of cabin wind noise at 45mph and above.

Sounds so awful and feels like I’m driving a ticking time bomb!

This noise only happens when moving and increases in volume to a point as you gain speed.

Car makes strange noises after you shut it off for up to half hour later when you close any of the doors.

The engine is extremely noisy, I don't understand why Ford couldn't come up with something to silence the disgusting noise it makes.

Grinding noise also at 5,000 miles, Replaced oil cooler.

The passenger door has developed a loud rattle that I can't seem to figure out.

failure

It has dumped the trans fluid 2 times and has had multiple transmission failures and irratic hard shifting.

Our latest issue was an engine light for cold start malfunction that occurred when the vehicle was started in our heated garage.

By 2,000 miles, the backup camera has failed multiple times, the screen glitches a lot, and when the A&#47;C is on, heat will come out on the passenger side sometimes.

Unfortunately my transmission and computer system both failed at less than 6 months of ownership.

.must have been malfunction with lane assist when I didn’t even have it on.

transmission

But there is a huge problem with this transmission and Ford knows it !!!!!!!

The transmission doesn’t slip every day.

but after only 8 months the 10 speed transmission  went out and after 6 weeks they still have not fixed it, it is still sitting at dealership waiting for parts.

4x4 has gone out twice, All sorts of warning lights go off, windows go up and down by themselves, transmission cooler went out, starting to stall, going back in to Ford for fixes

but are experiencing a transmission issue.

The engine transmission is not smooth, actually is very rough, the automatic transmission makes the car jerk while shifting .

but shifting has been a real issue jerking from 1st to 2nd gear.

Yesterday i experienced a major issue with the transmission.

windshield

Like dimming rear view mirror, dimming driver mirror, forward sensing, de-icer wipers, real leather seats (it’s now uncomfortable synthetic).

I was driving down the highway and a piece of the trim on my windshield flew off both sides are cracked they said my car is never been in an accident and I’ve never had the windshield replaced.

Even the Explorer's brother the "Aviator" was difficult to see out the windshield and A pillars.

gear

I can definitely feel the car shifting gears as I accelerate and I can feel a strong enough downshifting as I slow down that I wouldn't expect from a car at this price range.

It’s starting to have issues when you first went from a stop to start where the car with jerk around and then as you came to a stop the car with jerk down feeling each gear to you came to a stop.

If you have the drive mode set to "sport" be prepared to know that the engine will hang onto a lower gear longer than you think it needs to.

electronics

Seat massage, leather interiors, heat/cool seats, plenty plugs for my grandkids electronics, heated steering wheel (would love to see the same feature with a cool setting for the steering wheel, that would be awsome), there are more features that I like,

All electronics have been updated making it user friendly.

The car consistently has electronic issues.

The interior is spacious, comfortable, good climate control, so many new electronic features along with the safety features.

All the electronics and driver assists are great.

This include driving comfort and electronics.

Electronic package gives it a much better feel

electronic and technology adds to the already good Ford safety and convenience package.

The electronic 3rd row seat is a bonus and so easy  Love my new car!

speed

Recently traded over of the 2017s for a 2020, what a difference, comfort, fuel economy, power/acceleration, 10 speed transmission, REAR WHEEL DRIVE now.

The speed limit indicator works okay when there is a posted highway sign it will display the posted speed.

I enjoy the comfort, the speed, the control and all the extra options it offers.

Has good pick up speed, the color is fantastic, comfortable and roomy!

Love the advanced features especially adaptive speed control.works well for my golf clubs.

I have driven my car over 500 miles in both slow speed and highway speed, and I can say the transmission runs smoothly and without hesitation.

This new version of the explorer is incredible 
I am completely satisfied with everything so far
 from the performance to the ride and luxury and ease of dashboard functions 
The 10 speed transmission with 400 horsepower is absolutely exhilarating

I find myself well over the speed limit often which tells me things are dialed in. -Appearance.

Ride is smooth and it responds to speed adjustments well.

comfortable

Love the colors and interior is very nice and very comfortable

It is stylish and comfortable and gets great gas mileage.

It’s comfortable, drives smooth and looks AMAZING. I’m extremely happy with my purchase :)

Most comfortable with everything at my fingertips.

Our Explorer is comfortable, drives very well, gets great mileage and handles winter driving conditions with ease.

This car is super comfortable and love all the features it has to offer!

It is powerful,  comfortable ,safe and reliable.

Still getting comfortable with all of the technology though.

Like the comfort of the seats,  size and gas mileage for a SUV.

feature

Great car very spacious,drives  exceptionally well.. love on the options in it!

Tow package, 4wheel drive, fuel economy, power seats, heated seats ,steering wheel and much more.

Still learning to use all the features it has .

Great features, love the Platinum edition.

It is a loaded up vehicle with about all the options you can get on an Explorer.

Was a great price And towing package was a plus too.

AWD for off road driving..many safety features 360° blind spot sensors.

interior

It checks a lot of boxes IMO, its nice to drive, been very reliable, very stylish on the outside, and very roomy inside.

It’s leather trim covers most of the interior and is complimented by beautiful gray wood trim.

I love the look inside and out and all the “bells & whistles” that came with this model.

My only issues with the Explorer relate to the Sync system, and interior trim pieces.

Smooth ride and large interior very nice truck for the money.

2020 Lincoln Aviator

From exhaust noises, trim issues, brake failures, sunroof leaks and driveline issues my confidence in Lincoln has reduced significantly.

1st the suspension squeaking loudly and having to be totally replaced.

My biggest complaint is the load engine noise under acceleration.. if I had wanted to have a vehicle sound like a truck under acceleration, I would have bought a truck or a sports car.

Most annoying is all the rattles that continue to develop.

So back to the dealer it is.. As well as a rattle in passenger seat, that they cannot seem to get fixed right.

In addition, the engine noise inside the cabin is ROARING loud, and suspension is so hard the side-to-side buffeting inside is extreme.

The final straw was when a loud noise started around 50mph and wouldn't go away.

brake

Then the brake making loud noise and squishy when pushed.

after the first 24 hours i experienced issues as clunky noises from the car and brake vibration, gas tank issues.

Have Brake problem, Key remote, sunglasses holder, rear hatch very noisy, exhaust noise, wind noise from windows, starter car very noisy, clunking noise under the car

And finally someone break into the car destroyed the window and the 75k car alarm didn't do anything to let me know.

All the new cars added the feature where the engine turns off at red lights, stop sign when you put your foot on the break.

camera

Engine sensor failures (3 times), AC leaks, exterior sensor failure, backup camera failure, system head unit failure, seat falling apart, interior plastic breaking (two places).

In 4 times for rear camera and still no fix.

Faulty backup camera and rear air, defective windows, steering column makes loud noise after being in the heat.

Worst of all, this vehicle has had many many factory problems including camera issues and suspension issues.

but don’t worry about knowing what the speed limit is as you drive the cameras on the Aviator will show you the current speed limit as its always scanning due to it’s Speed Limit Recognition feature.

Rear camera didn’t work 1-2 weeks after purchase Lincoln Aviator.

Rear camera didn’t work and nearby Lincoln dealer
Fixed the software and returned car.

I also experienced the windshield wipers coming on when the sun was shining and no rain in sight.

But after 1 day the wiper stopped working on the highway and in a heavy rain.

Dropped off the car, two days later, they said the windshield was broken in shipping.

lights

The car was delivered to us without any heat working, the check engine light came on before we even put gas in the first time.

We turned off the battery and went straight to gas and limped to the dealer with the check engine light again.

Problems with windows, vents, suspension system, illuminated lights and at one point couldn’t cut it off.

then when I'm driving the center screen and wheel control electronics will not work and many check lights turn on.

My car has been in the shop for this ever since I purchased the car basically and when it comes back “fixed” i just find myself broken down at a red light again.

runs really loud and  Electronics are unreliable.

Lots of electronic bugs that come and go.

As they stated it was an "electronic" issue.

Car has been out of my possession for a total of 4 weeks due to issues with glass roof and its repair, bad back up camera, glitchy electronics, general fit and finish.

I currently and previously owned BMW's and the Aviator is not at the same level of quality, luxury, or functionality (electronics).

sometimes the car still takes 10-15 min to start the electronics for you to punch in your directions.

The electronics malfunction, the car leaks profusely from the sun roof.

I have driven it quite a bit and haven't had single engine or electronic issue.

smoother, quieter, quicker, more luxurious, far better electronics and usability than previously owned Lexus LS 460 and Porsche Cayenne.

You really have to be at high speeds to get some what of a smooth ride.

You pass a speed limit sign that is 55 mph, you car will reduce your speed to 60 mph.

including front and rear heated and cooled seats, 28 speaker sound system, heads up display, dynamic handling with rising and lowering of the vehicle on entry and speed dependent, etc.

I would recommend the SUV for anyone looking for Style, class, and speed

As for power, don’t worry about that as the Aviator has so much power that you usually can’t hold the gas all the way down as you’ll be over the speed limit too quickly,

but when I need some real horse power to get up to speed fast this car can supply it.

The comfort options make it a joy to drive especially on longer trips.

Best car I have ever owned and the ride a comfort is exceptional.

Comfort is beyond reproach, many friends and customers being highly complementary.

Excellent road car, quiet, stable, comfortable to the highest level, good technology, handles snow very well, great options, excellent towing capacity.

but also very comfortable with some amenities.

The Lincoln Aviator is high on comfort and gives a quiet, smooth ride.

I chose the Aviator on tech, safety, comfort, and price.

but I have had the vehicle for 9 months and still have not found a comfortable set of settings.

i couldnt press gas and go back or forward.THIS  IS A SAFETY FEATURE.

The multiple built in safety features give the driver a sense of confidence on the road.

I would have loved to select zero star assuming I have that option.

although the price is comparable, the technology features included in the pricing make the Aviator a great purchase.

Love comfort style features of vehicle just disappointed with reliability.

The interior is spacious and luxurious, and I went with the 30 way power seats, which is basically like getting a custom fit glove for your body.

25+mpg highway, well laid out interior, massage seats are amazing, roomy inside, 3rd row seats not made for large adults, plenty of room for storage even with all 3 rows in use.

Quality, performance, looks, materials, space, interior - it has it all.

Plenty of power under the hood and great gas mileage  Fit and finish of the interior is on par with the Europeans.

Car has a great look both exterior and interior.

but absolutely love the interior and the drive of this SUV.

We leased a 2020 Black Label unit (white with white interior) absolutely gorgeous!

My wife and I instantly loved the vehicle, the sleek modern look with the luxurious interior had us.

The interior includes the latest technology and many features to be expected in any luxury brand vehicle.

The quality of the build and interior materials is outstanding.

2020 Hyundai Tucson

I have enough ports for all my electronic devices and it's a good looking small SUV.

I miss the electronic seats  and the comfort of my 2016 and the extra power in my turbo 2016

I love the way it drives smoothly and am able to pick up speed fast on the highway.

There is plenty of power in the engine for me and have had no issues trying to get speed up to pass.

Plus, the road noise was less noticeable at higher speeds.

Really like the 360 camera view and the cruise control that slows down in reacting to a car in front at a slower speed and then goes back to setting when car in front leaves lane or increases speed.

The 2.4L GFI engine and 6 speed transmission are ideally suited for this vehicle.

We have the Limited version with all leather interior and all of the features that came standard were great.

All the safety features including blind spot monitoring and cross traffic alert work fantastic and the rear camera has been great.

Really cool features and is very comfortable to drive.

This SUV has more options for the price  than any other Make & Model.

Car performed exceptionally well in extremely cold and snowy weather, thanks to the good all-weather tires provided by the dealer and Hyundai's winter package.

Best vehicle with most options for my money!

smooth driving and good performance  with good gas mileage
safety features such as Blind spot detection , 360 degrees surround 
camera ,  power Liftgate with Hands free  auto opening

Lots of leg room very comfortable for a long drive.

Even with power seats you cannot get comfortable.

Smooth ride, very comfortable (I am 6 ft 6 inches tall guy, 235 lbs.).

I would buy this car again it’s a great family car, very comfortable I’m a suv guy all day long is spacious and easy to use

My Tucson is comfortable inside and stylish on the exterior.

This car meets our needs with adequate leg and cargo space and provides a comfortable ride with all the safety features.

ride

It rides great and is quieter than our last several vehicles.

but I see that as making for a VERY quiet ride and maybe a little extra safety.

2020 Toyota Highlander

Quiet and comfortable with little wind noise.

I hear a loud noise from the front brake anytime I release the brake pedal.

I went to a local Toyota dealer for a test drive, to see if 2020 Highlander has the same steering issue and cabin noise issue mentioned by other drivers.

-Starting the car doesn’t give much noise at all.

Just bought a 2020 Highlander XLE this is my third Highlander that I have owned not happy with it you feel every bump you get on a bumpy road you can feel the vibration in the floorboards I don't like the redesigned one wished I never bought it

While driving the venicle you can hear lowd road noises which can be distracting if you are on hands-free phone.

It confirmed to us our concerns about road noise.

Also I wish if the brake was a bit stronger!

The car would brake abruptly with no forewarning.

wheel

Also, the lack of power folding mirrors and height adjustable passenger seat; incandescent turn signals and interior lights; and manual tilt and telescoping steering wheel are disappointments for a $50K vehicle.

When the temperature is too hot or too cold, why doesn't the vehicle go to MAX cool or heat and the ventilated or heated seat and steering wheel turn on automatically?

The transmission has an hesitation when you gun it, which makes it feels a little slow despite the 295 hp, also am I the only one that finds the station control on the steering wheel to be annoying by being on the opposite side of the volume?? ?

And with the steering wheel out all the way (my arms are not disproportionately short, just where it wants to be with the seat all the way back, it is a weird entry.

I have tried adjusting and even had the General Manager of my Toyota store spend 30 minutes adjusting both the driver's seat and steering wheel.

you CAN  NOT buy a new 2020 Highlander with Ventilated Seat AND  heated steering wheel AND put a trailer hitch on it.

Electronics (Especially the Apple Car play is excellent) Sound is fine when listening to music and the hands-free phone sounds like you're holding the phone to your ear.

The Explorer has a few features not found in the Highlander:  (a) electronic tilt and telescoping steering wheel.

I am measured by my eco score which is very much based on steady speed.

The Highlander has a 295 HP naturally aspirated V6 with a 8 speed automatic.

In my other Highlanders, the vents were located in the center console and were adjustable to find a comfortable setting.

but so far I love the style, comfort and ride.

This vehicle is like the old family station wagon, most likely it will be dependable for many years to come, loves gas, comfortable ride.

Ok, what we like / love:

- Space
- Fit and finish
- Display size
- MPG is ok for a large vehicle
- Pretty Comfortable
- Pretty Quiet, not as quiet as we'd like,

It is very comfortable to drive and operate.

My 08 Highlander had a large seat and was very comfortable.

We took on a road trip from FL to MA and back, and it was the most comfortable car we have ever taken.

but I wouldn't want a vent blowing on my head and face for an extended ride.
