Explorer RSC 4..0 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 96,000 miles

Bought this car new in 05, the first week I had it the fuel line came loose spraying gas all over the engine. Pulled in to McDonald parking lot, leaked out 20 gallons of gas, they called fire department. Me & my wife were almost killed not to mention endangering other people. But anyway, I tried to put that behind me.

It been real good for awhile, then the front end started squeaking, Sears said it was bad bushings on the frame and that tires cost 1500 bucks. That noise never did go away. So now it has 100000 miles on it and has developed a roaring noise coming from the front end. Put new tires on, new wheel hub assembly's, on another 1200 bucks, still has that stupid roaring noise coming front end real loud. You can't hear the radio, also the tire sensor light is on, the last Ford I will ever own.
