problem #2

Explorer V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 83,000 miles

We have had the transmission and the engine die within 2 weeks of each other. the transmission was 1600 and now Ford wants 5000 for the engine. We have 3 years left to pay on this vehicle. We have spoken directly with the Ford Company and they will NOT help us!

problem #1

Explorer LX 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 44,000 miles

My 2006 Explorer that was maintained as recommended by manufacture threw a rod and made a big hole in the bottom of the motor while I was on the freeway with my family on the way to my vacation. The motor was not repairable and I had to replace it. It is still in at the dealers getting the motor replaced. I'm really considering it's name to Exploder.
