problem #2

2008Jan 14

Explorer XLT 3.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 93,000 miles

I had three power windows that failed within one week. One of the windows also shattered. A cheap plastic clip at the end of one of the cables failed but the whole power window unit has to be replaced. The total cost to fix was almost $1,000!
