problem #2

Apr 042006

Explorer XLT 4L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

If I put it in reverse and turn out of a parking space... it POPS(it...the entire f--king SUV) and it feels like I ran over a shopper. Are Ford and Walmart in some secret alliance to keep people there?? WTH?

This is my third "American made" car and my last! All these "overseas" manufacture cars are now MADE STATE SIDE, so I will be giving them my sales from now on!

problem #1

Mar 012011

Explorer 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

The problem started with strange clicking noise in the rear compartment of the car.

Continuous clicks (like on & off), the source of the noise is above the rear left tire (inside the body).

Even if the switch is on (no engine run), the noise comes.

Yesterday, it got much louder, and scary while driving, I parked the car, and I pressed the 4x4 Low (by chance), so it got quiet (but still)

May I get a help in this?
