So I bought this car in January of 2008 for my birthday. Easily the worst present EVER!! Since the day I have gotten it I have had nothing but problems. New transmission at 43000 miles, new calibers and brake pads the third day I got it, new tires because of the grinding noise, rear differential on its way out and oh did I mention that NOW I have a new problem with the front wheel hub and bearings.....just had the left side replaced six months ago now again!!!! 700 bucks that I don't have and have to borrow just to fix this piece of %#$@, I will never buy a Ford product again......I cannot believe were bailing out this crap and I'm from Detroit. Its too bad I owe too much money on it because it would be gone real fast!!! DON"T BUY EXPLORERS@!!!

All of these have bad rear bearings, and a defective ring and pinion set. I have repaired about a hundred of them just by myself.
