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 ABS light and check Advance Trac lights come on randomly when going around slight curves. No codes when checked out, so WTH? Now, the tire pressure fault warning comes on, when and whenever it wants. According to the tire store where I just had tires put on, nothing is wrong with the sensors. Everything resets when the car is shut off and then restarted. This SUV is a possessed piece of crap!!!
