Had one go out at 120k. Never made more or less because of turning one way or another. Sometimes hard to know which side.

Second opinion might be what the doctor ordered

Rockauto.com is a website with parts listing....... These are youtube videos to check by these below for 2011 explorer rear suspension Misfit garage Custom fx builds 2010 taurus rear suspension South main auto repair llc

Did you look for the youtube videos that I mentioned?? Search rockauto for parts?

I searched 2011 explorer rear suspension. Try something like that. Its there but you need to look.

Springs and struts aftermarket that exists. Rear bushing check youtube for a dorman part for explorer or taurus. Not sure if its upper or lower. Not sure if it's as solid as the expensive ford arm. Probably wont last long as its Dorman.

I can't recall if upper or lower bushing just check youtube for Explorer or Taurus rear bushing. There is a bushing that can be replaced vs whole arm. Dorman part I believe.

Get them balanced road force.

On top of that, Crutchfield has sketchy reviews on the quality. People having defective units having to redo. Ouch.

Did you try Ford Pass help first? Honestly their app is lousy. Not sure if adding the service uploads it to history or just your reading pleasure.

Have them look at it. A good independent mechanic will stand by their work. Motorcraft parts include a labor warranty and do pay for damage caused to other parts.

What about third party mechanic to look at it before sale?

Just saying cpo is done by the manufacturer. Don't let them tell you its a ford cpo.

How are you buying Cpo at gm dealer?

If you look at consumer reports this generation gets poor reliability buy for mainly other things.

Peter is awesome.

Remember changing bulb colors is not legal and obnoxious to other drivers. Not sure of.your intent but just mention it anyways. Sorry to be a killjoy.

Go smell around the car. Hood, brakes and under. Feel the wheels. 1/2 a mile isn't much and car certainly not warmed up.

My rear brake calipers had issues. Smelled hot. These cars have rear brake issues so might want to check it out.

Sounds like a bad dealer. Try another? Get a second opinion. Could you state their diagnosis from the paperwork?

You'd likely get water as well. Had a bad windshield seal in my 2006 Freestyle. Water came in at the carwash. Still would come in through the ac vents...

These transmission are bulletproof. Miles? Fluid change? Skipping in 5.or 6 could be misfire. Any codes? Hard to diagnose om net

Then how is it the windshield? Ac etc comes from that area. It doesn't make sense. This is an intermittent issue from what I've heard. Its premature to say that whatever was fixed on your trim solved it.

So no issue when ac or heat is on? Pulling air from top cowl near engine, near windshield.

Hard to prove this. Challenging this even if the supposed manifold has pin holes.

How is exhaust from the rear coming to the windshield in front? How do you know was defective to start? Sorry just doesn't make sense to me.

Cost? How much for better warranty? It's not a guarantee it will fail for you. Other things will likely need to be replaced (ie maintenance parts like struts maybe).

I have coolant disappear and reappear temperature being equal..... It has to be pressure variances. Two years have passed and a pressure test later all I can do is watch it. Zero issues in oil or leaks.

Cheaper to trade it in. It's for four wheel drive and you can't just add 4wd like Peter mentioned.

Its not a safety concern so no recall. Look online for parts. Aftermarket stuff is junk.

Water pump might fail at 100k or might not fail in the useful life of the vehicle. Something else might doit it first, who knows. I have 150k on a non turbo. No issues with water pump. Change fluids and oil as required in manual.

In writing about battery and refund if they agree .

Sorry. Are you missing the engine support rod? Assume yes after reading again. That's not technically a mount in the traditional sense. Idk about that one if that is what you are missing....maybe engine specific.

Number 11 is what you need. They cut costs as the years went but wow....

Wow..... likely stressing your other mounts. Can't believe it didnt shake.

I'd check the fine print on diag fees in the contract. To Peter's point 3rd warranty have a bad rap. Dealer should have do a battery inspection and look over for free at least to start. 200 an hour is nuts. Never would pay that.

100 install for battery? 2 diags? Holy smokes thats terrible. And warranty doesn't cover? 3rd party warranty right?

If you are not familiar with forscan be careful.... don't let that genie out of the bottle....

The computer flash was supposed to make the steering be drivable in a safe fashion, not lockup or be too hard. Mine failed and it still drove fine. Are you saying after the update it still failed and didn't have the fail safe mode working?

Never have had it on my 2011. It's hit or miss on who has it.
