Explorer XLT 3.2L V6
I have owned this Explorer with four wheel drive since 2000. I have only used the feature twice in light snow. I have had it serviced regularly. Today, without any notice I began hearing a terrible noise. I looked at my oil pressure gauge. I had no pressure. Luckily I was at the station that services my SUV, I pulled in, I was told that the timing chain had gone bad. I was also informed that Ford knows about this problem but refuses to accept any responsibility for the engineering defect. I thought I would be able to drive this Explorer for another 70,000 miles. But not so.
