Explorer Limited V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

I could tell there was something wrong. I could hear more wind coming in. I like to sit in car in quiet, which is how I could tell.

I was driving 70+ on expressway when this happened. It freaked me out - I didn't know what happened. I thought it was my tire or something. Had to pullover to see what happened. And that is dangerous altogether also.

We are also motorcycle riders and we just thought f***ing scary and dangerous. Can you imagine something like that coming and flying towards your face? OMG

Explorer XLT 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,983 miles

The right side edge and the left side edge had a molded rubber the hold down the windshield and on the top had like a plastic rail holding it down, this is only a 2011 explorer and I have been buying explorer since 1996, but I believe it's going to by my last one. It's a very expensive unit and only 5 years old to be having such many problems.
