Hi everyone, I just made a post in the New Members section. I think this is the right place to ask about this stuff, but correct me if I'm wrong. These questions are mostly just me being clueless as a new car owner, but some relate to the Explorer specifically. Any advice would be awesome!
- The driver side door will close with a click, but not fully close (flush with the vehicle) unless slammed. I assume this is a minor repair?
- The rear hatch lock works fine, but its not fitted very tightly (anymore?) and can be jiggled around really easily. I would like to fix this, but is it so much effort to get at that I shouldn't bother?
- The ignition lets me turn it to all positions without a key, but nothing happens besides the ignition/door ajar chime activating. Is it supposed to do this?
- There are minor bits of rust all over that I would like to eventually repair. I assume the back bumper is a common spot because there is a hole in it you can fit your arm through. Once repaired, what should I do to make sure it doesn't come back soon?
- Is there a list of common Explorer problems that I could go over to see if everything is in working order?
- What could I do to improve MPG? I don't expect anything massive, but every little bit helps.
