My Explorer sucks. My wife and I only have one vehicle and lucky us, it the ford explorer. My car will not switch from a/c to heat because some dumb ass flap is stuck. Worse yet this dumb ass flap will cost me over $800.00 just so my family can have heat. Thinks ford for making the worst vehicle on here. My advice is stay away from the Explorer - have had two now & the newer ones are no better than the older ones. After 100,000 miles plan on spending over $2,000 a year for repairs. Next repair will be my Transmission yea me. The worst part is I cant even get a new car because nobody will take this car as trade. PLEASE DON'T BUY this car and if you have one sell it.

My 2002 ford explorer blows only cold air when selecting hot. The temp gage reads normal, the heater hoses are both hot. It appears the blending door in't opening;
