    Still Deciding

    You are right. Nobody would buy a first year model if everyone followed that rule. However, we all know there are plenty of people who do. I bought my first Explorer after renting one in 2000. It was great car. I only had it for two years when I started getting company cars which were all...

    Still Deciding

    Obviously the old saying that you should never buy the first year of a new model still holds true. I own a 2007 Explorer Eddie Bauer V8, and it still runs like a top. That model started in 2006. I think by the time I bought mine (new in 8/07) the problems were pretty much ironed out. A side note...

    airbag light stays on sometimes

    Mine always indicates the battery is starting to go bad. This is the third time through this on my '07 Eddie Bauer V8. It shows up when it gets cold. Once you run the vehicle for a few miles, turn it off and back on the airbag light will stay off. I will check the voltage when the vehicle is...

    Front Wheel Bearing replacement

    I wouldn't buy anything like that on eBay. It is a crap shoot there. Half of the stuff you get there is legit and the other half is crap.

    Air Bag Light 2007 Eddie Bauer

    I have a solid airbag light after the initial test on start up is done when my battery is getting bad. I have had to replace the battery twice in my 2007 EB V8. Once after about 3 years, and then again last year. It is the first indication the battery is going bad. After you drive it for a bit...

    Air Bag Light 2007 Eddie Bauer

    My air bag light illuminates during the test portion of start up. Solid. No flashing. About 5 seconds after all of the lights go out my airbag light comes back on. This seems to be worse when the weather gets colder. I had this before and a battery replacement fixed it. Since there are no codes...

    broken vanity mirror

    My passenger side visor vanity mirror cover broke last year on my '07 Eddie Bauer Explorer. I paid for and installed a new one myself. Now the drivers side one broke when I pulled down my visor, and I never even use it. Seems to be inferior plastic. It really needs to be replaced since the cover...

    Is the end of the Explorer as we know it near?

    New vs. old Explorer Like I said, I am on my 5th Explorer. The first was a 2000 XLT. Very nice vehicle. The next three were fleet vehicles provided by my company, an '03, '04, and finally an '06, each one an XLT, with a bit less equipment than the previous. When my company decided to call in...

    Is the end of the Explorer as we know it near?

    I have read that the Explorer as we now know it will come to an end within the next year or two. That really disappoints me. I am on my 5th Explorer, and although they aren't perfect, they fit the bill for me. The Expedition is too big and expensive, and the Escape is really a car. Is there any...
