Explorer Sport Trac XLT 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 49,000 miles

The crankshaft pulley wore out and had to be replaced. This Sportstrak has only 49,000 miles and I am the first and only owner. The engine stalled and died as I was driving home in the middle of the night and had to push to a nearby service station who conducted the repairs the next day. I had to get a friend to pick me up at the station.I have the worn out parts and it practically disintegrated. The rubber came out of the pulley and it showed signs of being chewed out . The mechanic also had to replace the speed sensor and another sensor elsewhere. The total bill came to $481.)). I think Ford should pay for this repair. It is absolutely a premature worn out of this engine component, and they should recall the vehicle. I have own several Ford cars and trucks in the past, and never had something like this happen.
