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!

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.

Same problems as everyone else. My engine stalls. I am affraid to drive it for any amount of distance. I don't fall within the time frame of the lemon law. Of course. The first time it happened was in July 09 they couldn't find anything wrong with it. It happened again on Oct.14 09 took it in they couln't find anything wrong with it. It happened again on Oct. 15 09 they said it was the fuel filter. It happened again on Nov. 25 09 took it in they said it was the powertrain control module. They replaced that. It happened again on Dec. 8 09 took it in and they said it was the air intake valve.
Have had the car back for one day and waiting to see what happens. I have called everyone I can think of to help me with this with no results. I have spoke with Ford motor company and all they will do is give me a hard time. I will never own another Ford again. I must of had a major brain fart the day I bought that car. WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!!!
