problem #2

Aug 212014

Explorer XLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 89,000 miles

The electrical problem came from having to have my 3rd transmission installed. The truck only has 89,000 miles and the first two transmissions were covered by Ford. Unfortunately with the add on warranty being expired that's where the third rebuilt transmission cost me 1,800.00 and once that was done the check engine light never turned off and from mechanic to mechanic I found one that was able to fix it the electrical issues that bill was $2,000.00 so my third transmission cost me $3,800.00.

problem #1

Oct 212010

Explorer SE 2.4L 4 cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 69,594 miles

I need help advice or whatever. my car just wont start sometimes or it will start slowly when started. the Idle Goes up to 2k and goes back down after a while also the airbag light tends to stay on unless i would pull first gear, roll a bit, and turn the car off and on. when it wont start it wont start. i called Ford to see if there was any bulletin services out. the first girl told me you don't have your VIN we cant help you HEY HELLO???? MY CAR IS AT THE GARAGE HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO HAVE THE VIN so i called back and asked for someone else. he goes NO we aint got no Issues, talking to me like I'm ignorant and I'm talking through my hat (i found him rude) so he finally said no TBS but i see a lot of people on the forum having that problem

right now I'm disappointed that when i explained the guy my problem he didn't offer me any solutions and didn't seem interested into fixing my problem. all he said was nope no TBS for my problem that's it
