problem #3

Mar 122024

Explorer Limited 2.3L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,500 miles

Downshifting would yank passengers forward with force.

problem #2

Feb 112024

Explorer Limited 2.3L-Liter Ecoboost ® I-4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,543 miles

The transmission was always a rough shifter, but that was announced even before it was available for sale. It gradually improved. But suddenly, the tranny banged, slammed, and shook when downshifting. The dealer picked it up and told me today (2/23) that a complete rebuild is needed.

problem #1

Explorer ST V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,388 miles

Purchased a 2020 Ford Explorer used from a dealership 6/24/2021. Two and a half months later on 09/14/2021 I was advised the transmission is "pouched / gone" and will likely need to be replaced. There should be a recall on this car.
