Last year when the check engine light went on. After reading the code I found out that it’s cylinder 5 misfired. WTH !!! A car with 50k miles has a misfire? Then, the low pressure ac pipe started to leak refrigerant. I had to pay out of my pocket to fix it since it’s not covered my the extended warranty. Lastly, the junction between the engine and the transmission was leaking oil. Not sure if it was engine or trans fluid.
Honestly, I’m so glad that I got rid of this vehicle because it was a pain in the rear end.
Noticed oil leak on my driveway. Had it serviced for routine check. Dealer stated that there is oil leaking but not sure where it's leaking from. Advised to make appointment to investigate. Appointment made for 9/15/16, dealer stated just a loose oil seal????? and that they resealed it. Get home, park in my driveway, oil leaking again. Will call on Monday. Will keep you all posted.
Update from Mar 28, 2017: Had oil sending unit replaced.
Ford dealer repair technician advised that they would need to replace this leaking "oil sending unit" but they didn't stock one. Of course it's Friday afternoon and doubtful they will get one before next week so I'm likely without my vehicle for 2-3 more days. He also said he has seen several of these go bad on new Explorers. Sounding like these new Explorers are a large bucket of crap. WARNING - DO NOT BUY ONE!
