The transmission went out at 41,000 miles. It is a 2wd, auto. The front tire wears. Ford says nothing is wrong. I had to have the frame bent straight. The front brakes have had problems. The ABS light has come on for adjustment.
Ford, never seems to have a problem. All problems are fixed temporarily and they admit to nothing. This car has never been wrecked or even towed or anything. It has never been off road. I would not buy another. The dealer repairs are outrageous in cost. The transmission problems in Fords seem to be very prevalent, except to Ford and their dealerships. I should have bought another Toyota. Thank you.
I have had major problems with the transmission on my 1994 ford Explorer also, Had to have it rebuilt at 80000 then again at 139000. Ford should have to own up to this!!!
What I don't understand is there is an unbelievable amount of surplus parts for Explorers, why would it be expensive at all to repair? Given the transmissions aren't terrific, but c'mon. I picked up a new tranny for a few hundred dollars.
