Explorer 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
While driving 75mph a loud boom noise was suddenly heard. Vehicle was thumping and vibrating. Steering was very shaky. Managed to get off highway, and stopped vehicle to check. There wasn't any problem with tires blowing out. Limped into road service. Mechanic informed owner the C V joints attached to transmission transfer case had blown. Front driveline was removed & replaced, but vibrations still appeared. Contacted manufacturer, and informed vehicle was a lemon.
