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.
To have the doors locking and unlocking on their own was driving me crazy....I was afraid and embarrassed to have anyone in my truck!!!! It would lock and unlock on it's own even when I WASN'T driving, so I never knew if my truck would be locked. Safety all around.
