This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I had to replace the intake manifold of the 1996 Ford Explorer at mile number 163400 on March 30, 2007. It was leaking at #1 cylinder. There was a 'ecret warranty' in effect. I beleived for Explorer's 10 years old and younger. Mine was just over the 10 year mark.
Knocking noise from engine manifold area. Dealer could not find any noticeable problem. Knocking noise would quiet down after the engine would heat up. Problem got worse over time. Independent mechanic found problem with the exhaust manifold gaskets leaking.
