problem #1

2007Oct 11

(reported on)

Explorer Eddie Bauer 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11,000 miles

At about 5500 miles my unlock on the keyfob and the lock switches inside started working only intermittently. And the radio would not shut off when the key was out of the ignition and the door was opened. Sometimes it held my groceries hostage because I couldn't get the hatch unlocked. Fortunately, it happened when I was dropping it off for repair, or I'm sure I would have gotten a "could not duplicate" and be sent on my way. They replaced some module in the computer system. That hasn't happened again, but now (at 11000 miles) my rear windows work intermittently. So I will have to take it in again. I also had transmission problems at 8000 miles for which they replaced the solenoid. And I think it's screwing up again as well. There's no excuse for having this many problems with a vehicle with so few miles on it. Never again will I buy a Ford. Ever.
