    Firm to hard shift

    Yes, we took it to the dealer and they fixed it. Didn't ask what they did to fix it. We bought an extended warranty out to seven years. I,m waiting for the all electric explorer.

    Solved My transmission shifts hard after battery replacement.

    This might help to not loose memory. I read this years ago. Before you replace a car battery make a nine volt hook up to a power/lighter outlet. Plug in the nine volt to power outlet. Change the car battery and replace the positive and negative cables to battery. This will save the memory for...

    Rough idle/stumble

    2018 explorer 3.5 NA front wheel drive. Bought 7/2018, 6200.00 miles. Also hesitation from a stop. 90% local driving, very little highway driving. Maybe try some gas additive to clear carbon from heads?

    Whistling sound when applying or releasing light throttle, coming from engine bay

    I am going to pass on some thing I read years ago about an easy way to find a vacuum leak. Get a propane tank you use to solder with. Remove the tip where the flame comes out. If you have enough room for the tank to get close to the vacuum hoses put the end where the flame nozzle went and move...

    Question on heater control

    The defroster vents work and the AC vents work. Nothing will come out of the floor vents. I guess it is a motor or cable problem.
