This 4x4 Explorer XLT was under regular maintenance, assigned to one individual, while used by the USFS (Forest Service) of the Federal Government. They advertised/sold it with "un-diagnosable issues" with no test drive possible. Given the otherwise almost pristine vehicle, it's hard NOT to assume a manufacturer's defect is a likely factor, if not the root cause of the low speed transmission grinding and whining. Since I am a longtime Ford owner, with multiple current Ford vehicles, I was disappointed in their position, which was to offer no help whatsoever, even though the Ford Customer Satisfaction (phone) rep conceded Ford was aware of a disproportionately large number of similar complaints. In my research, I discovered RockAuto has a re-manufactured transmission from The Transmission Authority with 100k or 3 years parts and labor warranty (when installed by a shop - warranty runs with the VIN, NOT the owner), for ~$1600, excluding the $600 core charge and sales tax. I'm very disappointed at Ford's laissez-faire (hands off) approach to this apparently common issue.
