Transmission has had several failure warnings. The overdrive light starts to strobe, then the transmission warning light and buzzer goes off to be followed by the check engine warning lights. This has been in to the dealer 6 times and they have not been able to repair it.
Sunroof has a mis-formed seal on the roof liner. This seal will tear away the fabric from the cover in a short period of time. The new design is apparently beyond the ability of the service department to fix because they wound up breaking the drive mechanism trying to fix it. They then claimed that the grinding noise was normal.
The transmission is apparently new for this year. There is a tag on it that states the transmission is not to be worked on. Instead, you are to contact the Ford factory.
The Ford factory has been of little help. Their best statement to date is "sorry you are having trouble and thank you for buying from Ford. Have a nice day!"
I have a 2000 Ford Explorer with 43k miles and the 15A fuse that controls the transmission keeps blowing. When it does the car is very slow to get rolling and then if you slow down or give it much gas at all it will stall out and kill the engine. I have had it in the Ford dealership and they said they could only find a blown fuse and no signs of damaged cables. Now after replacing about 20 fuses in the past 4 months it blows the fuse every time I put it in DRIVE. Does anyone have any information on this?
