CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2005 Explorer has a very well-established record of expensive transmission failure at under 100k miles. The Explorer has an enclosed transmission which is typically replaced with a rebuilt transmission at a cost of almost $3,000.
Adding insult to injury, the 2002-2005 Explorer also has a massive problem with the rear panel cracking. While it's a minor annoyance compared to transmission failure, ironically the crack usually goes right through the Ford logo.

My 2005 Ford Explorers alarm goes off in the middle of the night for no reason; so apparently it’s been doing this for about two weeks. I found out when in the morning my wife was walking out to the car a neighbor started yelling and swearing at her. She called me and let me know what he said. I went to speak to the him about his foul mouth and that’s when he told me it had been doing this for two weeks. So now I'm trying to find a solution before my neighbors mouth writes a check he can't cash. Oh yea and the $1500 extended warranty just expired. Man this is such a pain!!!
