Transmission replaced at 90,000 miles.
Automatic 4x4 hubs failed, replaced with manual locking hubs.
Radiator tank cracked, radiator replaced.
Tires recalled.
Drivers side power window failed.
Lift-gate fell off and was recalled/replaced.
Cruise control does not always work.
The Explorer is a bit top-heavy and is clumsy.
Under-inflating tires to improve ride will cause Firestone tire blowouts.
The Explorer eats gas.
A foreign car would probably be more reliable.
I believe that the review was OK. If all the recalls are listed in the review than it was a great review.
You should also mention that the spare tire cable is likely to break due to corrosion. It happened to me while I was driving along a highway. While another vehicle was hit by the bouncing spare wheel there were no injuries or damages.
My Cruise Control stops working once in a while. What could be wrong with it? The Fuse will be OK it does not burn out.
It happen when I go over a big Bump or rough Road. Where is the loose conection,anybody knows???
My address is : LMVON@MSN.COM Thank you.
Lost the spare tire on my 94 Ford Explorer. Cable broke.
Don't know when or where. Hope no one was killed by it.
Also had a 85 Dodge Caravan with the same cable system.
Found that tire in my driveway after I backed over it.
Time to recall this unsafe system.
Just bought my 94 Explorer from a private seller, and it was probably the worst decision I have ever made..
First: seller said that engine was redone, and it only had 25,000 miles on it.. I am starting to think that is not so true because the things has given me problems since I bought it 3 days ago.. (the engine light is on, and he said if it goes off, there are big problems)
Second: the back two windows are broken, and the passenger is going slowly but surely
Third: I broke down.. It took me 4 tries to get it running.
Fourth: 3rd day of owning it, and it is already in the shop
Fifth: wiring for the audio system doesn't exist. bad connection or something.
Sixth: when I am driving, when I let go of the gas, it still keeps a going, hence the reason why the gas mileage is horrible.
I probably can keep on, but I cannot remember anything else right now.. Oh, yeah, shocks were replaced under a year ago, and the tires show lots of damage again.. Here we go. Any suggestions???
