Explorer Limited V8
- Automatic transmission
- 115,000 miles
I own a ford explorer limited V8 and I have a flashing O/D light and my gauges go crazy
every time I cold start. Then the check engine light comes on. I have been going crazy. I checked around - a lot of people have this problem. I changed my transmission, still same problem. So I did some research and I think the problems come from a faulty PCM module. Changing this should fix the problem or having ford reprogram it should fix it also.

Explorer XLT V6
- Automatic transmission
- 64,042 miles
My 4 x 4 would not engage. This happened after only using it twice. And so it was notice around 50,000 miles. While I was having brakes put on, I asked if they would check it. They did for $140.50 on top of the brakes cost. And they wanted 600.00 to fix, which I declined. And when I asked the service manager what would cause the 4x4 module to quit, he told me " How would I know" If he doesn't, who the h--l would?

(reported on)Explorer Eddie Bauer V8
- Automatic transmission
- 50,000 miles
A few months after purchasing our 2002 Eddie Bauer Explorer (which we loved), the "brain" to the 4WD which sends the signal to lock into 4WD ceased to operate. It was repaired at my cost and Ford had no intention of giving me any kind of break monetarily. This vehicle wa like new and all service had been done on time and by a dealer. With the low mileage we felt as though this should have been handled with some sort of help from the manufacturer. I thought that was the end of my problems with this Explorer. Boy was I wrong

Explorer XLS 4.0L V6
I have heard that the 4x4 feature in the explorers have had problems and I want to know if there is a recall. This is why Toyota is beating the crap out of Ford. You don't need a bailout, you need better quality control and accountability.
