The car is worthless, it will sway so bad going down the road, corners feel like you will tip over. DANGEROUS!!!

Ah, spring and the sound of the bearings and feel of link sway. At first I thought it was just the icy roads. Foolish me, of course, Pricing a Toyota. This nightmare will be over before the end of the month!! Good Luck to the rest of your 2002 Explorer owners, dump that baby while you still can.

Had truck in for oil change, had dealer look at rear-end because of clunking sound, found rear control arm bushings are failing. Not covered by extended warranty (which I paid $1200 for) so I now should pay $1200 to replace the entire control arm. Good Luck, I will find somebody to replace the $25 bushings myself, screw Ford. No more Fords for me.

I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT WE AS LOYAL FORD CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING. BUT WHAT REALLY MAKES ME UPSET IS THAT FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO SATISFY ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS. OH I AM SORRY THEY HAVE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION THEY WASTE ALL THAT TRAINING THEY RECEIVE BY NOT BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE A LIST AS LONG AS TEXAS :
BUSTED SPRINGS {REPAIRED TWICE}
REAR DIFFERENTIAL GOING OUT
REPLACE FRONT WHEEL HUBS
AND THE LIST GOES ON......
