problem #1

2007Jun 28

Explorer XLT 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,000 miles

At 38000 mi had an inspection done and was told the right front wheel bearing was going bad and would need replaced. Called FORD, they stated... it ceased to be under warranty at 36000 mi and would cost me nearly $500, yikes. Instead i went to autozone and purchased one just under $300 and did myself. Now at 48000, the left front wheel bearing is whining and needs replaced. I prefer driving my 28mpg 1995 intrepid with 150,000 mi., never needed to replace any wheel bearings on it or much of anything else. This Explorer was my first....and last FORD.
