Explorer Eddie Bauer 4.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 120,000 miles

Stupid f*cking FORD! Cracked lift gate - new wheel bearings - rebuilt transmission - interior falling apart - dome lights wont work - now the steering is swaying! Oh yea - the fresh/recirc air flapper fell onto the fan intake in the HVAC unit so there was not f*cking air flow. The damn thing is falling apart and I spend A TON of money on this piece of sh*t. I keep it cuz I like it though seat warmers work good.

The explorer make a funny noise whenever you went over a bump. They replaced the front stabilizer bushings.

Explorer XLS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,000 miles

Could not believe the entire front suspension had to be changed at this mileage. These are obviously inherent flaws or poor quality components. I have another 1994 Lumina with over 200k miles and never has been the suspension repaired. Will look another car brand next time.
