CarComplaints.com Notes: How can we give the 2001 model year a "seal of pretty good" when it has some problems with a slipping transmission and a known problem with the speed activation control switch? Because it's not the 2002. That's how.

I notice the 2001 Ford Excursion had gear box problems. I just had to replace steering and tie rods on my 2001 Explorer. Also, I had to replace the idle control valve and a friend also has an idol control valve problem on his 2001 Explorer. Are these problems at large. If so, I would love to have Ford reimburse me for these charges on a vehicle that just has 37,600 miles on it.
