    2013 Explorer XLT with 96,000 miles just had the strut bearing replaced and the rack and pinion/ gearbox replaced. Went in for a clunking noise when moving the steering wheel back and forth. First noticed when making u-turns. Easily reproduced when aggressively moving steering wheel left to...

    Front end clunk - bushing failure?

    2013 Explorer XLT with 96,000 miles just had the strut bearing replaced and the rack and pinion/ gearbox replaced. Went in for a clunking noise when moving the steering wheel back and forth. The strut bearing just happened to be the first thing they looked at since it was making a clunking noise...

    Water Leak

    Fixed for now $412 later the leak is fixed for now. This time the service department had to take my car to the Ford body shop. It was leaking at the seam where the bolts hold the lift gate in place. Water was also coming in at the wiring harness for the lift gate.

    Water Leak

    Same here, it took me buying a soaker hose to fine the leak. I put the soaker hose on top of the vehicle. Once I saw that it was leaking down the third row seat belt, I "mapped" out my roof into section to help pinpoint where the leak is coming from. It didn't take long as I expected that it was...

    2011 Ford Explorer Transmission Problems?

    I have some good news, I think! I don't have a major transmission problem. Yes the transmission seems to lag a bit on hills but the transmission is not why my car was acting up. The temperature dropped Wednesday night into Thursday morning here in Texas, therefore rodents were looking for a...

    2011 Ford Explorer Transmission Problems?

    I had my 2013 Exploder towed today from my driveway. I first noticed the engine idling really rough, then I tried I put it in reverse and the Explorer didn't want to go backup. Well, it did, but is was chugging along. It performed just fine in drive and then the check engine light came on. 6900...

    Bad noises

    Double check to see if it happens when you are transitioning from drive to reverse. I hear a clicking noise..sometimes its one click but when I give it a little more gas it clicks multiple times. I took it into the dealer yesterday and they said there is a TSB for the drive axle shaft. There is...

    Seat is cracking

    Crystal, Thanks for your concern. I am already in contact with a regional customer service manager due to my many issues with my new Explorer. Unfortunately dealerships/Ford does not care about their customers enough to provide a rent car, so I have to wait til next week when I have two days...

    Seat is cracking

    I am fine with wrinkles but what I am talking about should not be happening. I have the non perforated seats. The seat is cracked as in a whole, many wholes to be exact. The cracks(wholes) are very fine, so its hard to get a good picture but I will see what I can do. This is my fifth vehicle...

    Water Leak

    Well, I "challenged" my self over the weekend to see how many times I could duplicate the leak. I was not able to see the leak with the Explorer parked on a level driveway but confident it was leaking. What I found is that I could see the leak 100% of the time when parked on a slope, slope...

    Water Leak

    It's amazing what a little ingenuity can accomplish. I used a soaker hose to water my car today. Within than five minutes my Xtra Leaky Truck was leaking, water was dripping down the driver side third row seatbelt. Why is that Auto nation couldn't reproduce the same results when they had my car...

    Water Leak

    The dealer claims they couldn't reproduce the leak!!! It's apparent that they didn't "water" my explorer long enough or at the very least didn't get the water in the right spot for it to leak. It is frustrating having to "fight" for a rental car if I can borrow a family car. Crystal,as soon as...

    Water Leak

    2013 water leak I wish I would have seen this thread before I bought my 2013 Explorer XLT!!! YES, the 2013 models have the water leak problem too!! My carpet is wet just underneath the third row seat on the driver side. The carpet is wet where you stow the seat away.
