problem #2

Explorer XLT 4WD 4L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,000 miles

So I had this intermittent thump when coming to a stop & never thought much about it until I hit a dip in the parking lot pavement that sent it to the top of the shocks or springs or whatever... The intermittent became constant. Every shift in the weight while turning or stopping.. I had a broken front stabilizer link. They are plastic?!?! Okay yeah so they don't rust, they just break completely.
This thing is a nickel & dime nightmare. There's always something wrong with it. This time was $700. I wonder what it'll be next time? From what I've read here, I'm guessing the transmission is crap too. And they wonder why people buy Hondas & Toyotas?
