Ford Explorer Change Vehicle

"Trim around windshield came loose and was flapping in the wind. Replaced both sides at a cost of $600!!"

"Body panel clips broken, under body air dam for transmission cooling falling off"

"The rubber strips under the windshield pillars came loose and began flapping against the windshield while I was driving at highway speed. Also the cowling between the windshield and the hood was made of some soft composite material and was disintegrating"

"Interior door vinyl split for no apparent reason. I am told that the only solution is to buy the entire vinyl trim for the door"

"DRIVERS DOOR PANEL SPLIT ALONG SEAM"

"Interior door handle is made of cheap plastic and splits in half"

"Paint on the roof that is cracking allowing water to get under the paint."

"Leading edge of hood had peeling paint. Covered under warranty just before it expired"

"Paint on the leading edge of the hood is bubbling up where the hood was not properly cleaned before paint it. Ford admits it, however, they refuse to pay for all of the cost for repairs. They want me to pay $400.00 on it. They were supposed to repair"

"Peeling on tail gate. Refused to cover citing excess mileage although obvious that it was a problem before the mileage limit"

"Hood and tailgate blistering. Looks to be a bad bond between the aluminum and the paint. Small areas at the edge, maybe 1-1 1/2 inch"

"paint on hood bubbling and peeling. Research shows that it has been a problem since 2011 and Ford has not remedied this defect yet and refuses to cover it after the 3 yr warranty is over"

"The hood was not completely painted at the edge of the hood and began to rust"

"It started rusting around the hood and the the headlights in about 2016 or 2017. It looks atrocious."

"Corrosion under the paint is causing the paint to bubble on the hood"

"Rear Right Caliper locked up on this truck multiple times. I see this is a common problem for Ford Exp."

"Replaced pads at about 58000 miles but hauled a pop up regularly including from Florida to N J by way of California. Seems normal therefore"

"Normal brakes wear had to change rear brakes"

"Brake pads and calipers were never changed previously, finally wore down"

"My Vette has 100,000 miles and NO Brake issues. We had a Cougar, and Two Thunderbirds that also had warped rotors."

"Recently had to replace the REAR brakes"

"Rear brake pad cracked with less than 36,000 miles"

"lost brake shoe"

"Brakes are noisy"

"At 36k miles I had to replace the rear brakes and again at 65k. I am concerned that this is reoccurring. I do not drive in high traffic often and it is only 7 miles to work on a non-busy roadway. I am not an aggressive driver."

"Replaced the brakes twice on the Explorer. My Toyota 4Runner never needed new brakes in the 75,000 miles I had it."

"Seemed to be premature in my opinion. I have owned several new vehicles and the brake system failure occurred much faster than any other"

"Rotors were warped at about 45,000 miles. Went until I couldn't stand the pulsing and had one caliper frozen. Replaced all 4 rotors and pads and one caliper"

"it was squeaking and when I went in for an oil change, apparently the brakes were failing and had to be changed"

"ford needs to make air bag sensor less prone to road contamination"

"The problem was actually with the keyless entry which stopped working. Unlocking manually with the key did not disable the security system, so the alarm would sound within about 15 seconds of opening the door. 8 days to repair with several parts"

"Very poor function"

"Will not pair with Iphones, and they say it is Apples problems"

"Radio was off. Received phone call and when call ended, radio came on and could not shut it off until we stopped and turned the car off. The problem seems to be fixed now but the Sync system has had 3 total updates since we bought the car. This sys"

"system went out and had to be replaced"

"The system looses audio when the commands are activated. A system reboot is required to hear the prompts again"

"Had to reset"

"It appears the actual computer system on the car is always updating lately and still having connection problems"

"System locked up. Had to disable auto updates to phone book. Then it worked properly"

"Erratic operation then total failure of the system requiring multiple reinstalls of software both at home and finally at dealer"

"This system periodically goes out and does not come back on"

"The on dash light was intermittently on for the air bag. This creates an issue as three times I was to take it in and the light would go out, IE no more issue no need to take it in as I have learned in past that you will be charged even if nothing is wrong!! Finally the light was on for about two weeks so i got it in ASAP!! Was a Bad connection on the passenger side seat? OKAY so why when passenger was in the car did the passenger air bag light on passenger side of the dash turn to the ON position? Something doesn't sound right to me?"

"entire A/C system replaced under warranty at 34,000 miles due complete cooling failure"

"thankfully this was covered under the extended warranty I purchased otherwise it could have been $400 for repair"

"The dual climate control stops working. One side will work, the other side just blows hot air."

"when traveling out west last year during July, it was very hot in Omaha, NE and it seemed the AC would not keep up, especially at idle speeds or stopped at traffic light. Upon returning home the dealer checked the system and said everything was worki"

"Having multiple climate controls I didn't even notice the passengers side was stuck on AC all winter? This was found when the car was in for the air bag light, the part wasn't in stock and had to be held for two days to order part."

"Only cold air out of the passenger side heater outlets. Controller replaced under extended warranty."

"Passenger side blend door actuator failed. This appears to have been a common problem with the dual zone AC in the Explorer."

"Actuator motor on the front passenger side broke, replaced it"

"Wouldn't work. Fixed under warrantee"

"When the car was slowing down for traffic or a red light when the car didn't come to a complete stop just before moving again when the gas peddle was pushed the transmission would not engage for several moments and then bang hard. Repaired by the dealer."

"The car would slip out of gear and when it re-engaged, the entire car would jolt as if I'd been rear ended"

"Out of the factory, transmission calibration was causing a clunk. At my last dealer checkup, the computer was reprogrammed with latest settings to resolve the problem. No problem has occurred since."

"Had a transmission seal leak that was repaired by the dealer under warranty"

"Issue where car was in park but sensor did not recognize that the car was in park"

"Unsure if this is the correct category, but when the car is parked, engine off and then put in park, the dash shows "Not In Park" even though the seat has moved backward to the passenger exit position"

"This problem (solenoid failure) was previously described as the cause of the transmission's rough shifting"

"There is a short in the electrical system that blows the fuse for the interior lights. It's done this since 2014 and the dealer has never been able to locate the short."

"Interior lights don't work while engine is running, but do when engine is off. 3rd seat electrical controls stopped working"

"I was locked out of my car on 3 separate occasions b/c the number pad on the door would freeze or not allow #s to be pushed/skip"

"Door entry system malfunctioned in that the doors would not unlock when the handle was touched. This was problem resulting from corrosion on the wires. As this was deemed to be from corrosion it was not covered by warranty or extended warranty"

"One of the numbers doesn't work on keypad. One of the keys does not unlock door any more"

"Vehicle has rain sensing wipers. Sensor went bad causing phantom wipes on sunny days"

"front wheel bearings had to be replaced"

"Electrical issues w/ vehicle controls/lights. Brake warning light will sometimes illuminate, but dealer says error with light not the brakes. Vehicle will provide warning to shift to park when turning off vehicle, but transmission is in park"

"Car lost power while driving. Required restart from full off to reset. It was very scary when this happened on the freeway or when making a left turn across traffic.After several tries, and with help from the factory, and the problem becoming almos"

"Power steering rack went bad post warranty, causing total failure to power steering as I was driving. After power steering rack replaced, ABS system kept going into failure. Transfer case was also bad and had to be replaced. This failure caused the vehicle to behave erratically on the road, warning lights went off etc. Full repairs spanned three months' time in and out of the shop (3 different shops tried to help, including Ford). Vehicle codes could only be detected during failure while the car was still running. Once the vehicle was shut off it would re-set. Extremely frustrating repair process and horribly costly."

"leaking transfer case which required replacement"

"Repair shop replaced it once, but it still shows up on diagnostics."
