CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2005 Explorer has a very well-established record of expensive transmission failure at under 100k miles. The Explorer has an enclosed transmission which is typically replaced with a rebuilt transmission at a cost of almost $3,000.
Adding insult to injury, the 2002-2005 Explorer also has a massive problem with the rear panel cracking. While it's a minor annoyance compared to transmission failure, ironically the crack usually goes right through the Ford logo.

The rear air duct seems to be stuck and cannot operate properly. It continues to "click" or "pop" non-stop while running the ac/heat. Sounds like a vent damper is trying to open or shut but is stuck and the relay continues to try to operate it!!
