problem #1

Jan 042005

Explorer 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 43,000 miles
Over time noticed jerking while upshifting. Loud winding noise at high way speeds when on gas pedal. Drive mostly highway and still extremly poor mpg. 9.8-10.6mpg average on highway! also passenger side rear seat belt does not retract. Had replaced under warranty. Still have the problem.
