okay so to start out. I know a lot of you have said the Explorers are rough drivers. I agree. However I don’t think this is the typical “oh this car doesn’t have shocks” kind of feeling. It’s almost as if my tires are skipping. I get weird random, and sometimes multiple bumps from either one side of the car, from the back left or right. Same goes for front. But usually when I turn the skipping gets worse on the two front. Other times I let off the gas and it the entire car is bumpy. To add. It also feels like there is some resistance against me accelerating. When I let off the gas my car kind of forces the pedal for me. If that makes sense. It just doesn’t wanna allow the gas to be pressed. There is no more cruising, as soon as I let off the gas my car is slowing down fast. Something is whining/growling all at the same time too. Sounds like it’s coming from my axle. I have no idea what’s going on. To top it off, Whenever it’s hot outside, my car seems to flash the 4x4 light and 4x4 low light, this happens continuously. At the same time, my windows will not roll down or up. To get this to stop I have to not drive for a little bit. But since it’s been 100+ lately, it’s already flashing the lights in the morning. I do not have ac so you can imagine how much of a pain in the ass this is. If anyone can help me understand these issues
