My transmission blew up at 160000 km.
My engine doesn't sound very far behind.
The dashboard gages have an electrical short.
The step bars have corroded horribly.
This vehicle is extremely hard on gas.
It is very bouncy on any type of road surface and the steering seems very flimsy.
Also the brake rotors are lasting less than two years creating some high maintenance costs.
It unfortunately sounds as if you've been sold a lemon. Most of the other reviews that I've read have been fairly positive. Better luck with other vehicles!
I would have to agree with the guy who left a comment before me...
First of all most people don't buy used vehicles with over 100,000 miles on it unless they know the person who owned it before hand... Now being a mechanic, and knowing many people who have owned Fords, I can tell you right now the Explorer that you bought was not taken care of... Most transmissions go early, or they go late, not in between unless the person who owned if before beat the life out of it... Which I can tell you, that was exactly the case in this situation... Next time try to go for a brand new one... or something with a lot less miles...
