Explorer Sport Trac 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 135,000 miles
I own a 2001 Sport Trac. I had to pay $934 to bryan automotive in Decatur Texas to replace both right and left axles, and the outer bearings. The rear end still has a slight whining at 55-70 mph. He spoke with someone at the Ford house in Decatur tx, and was told some sport tracs will have this noise. I have owned numerous vehicles and have never had a rear end go out. Something was definitely wrong. Please have Ford reimburse people and do a recall.
