problem #1

Explorer 4WD 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

The rear axle seals at the gear case have failed twice causing axle fluid to leak. The dealer has replaced each time saying that "Ford has an issue" with these seals but they do not have a lasting repair. Not all 2002 Ford Explorer have this problem.
