Trade in price was OK. New car is loaded 2014 Platinum Premium Pathfinder. Not as sporty in looks but build quality is noticeably different. I'm sure I will hear some CVT comments but Nissan addressed this issue in 2014

I've owned lots of cars and all I am simply saying is the explorer and ford has been my worst experience. I've been thru all the usual tsb's which is fine... Let's put that down to 2011 model. But, outside of that, I think the general build quality and design is not good. Without listing all...

The Ford Explorer is gone and I feel relieved. Never quite felt that way before on any trade ins but this car has been a nightmare from the get go. Sure bells and whistles and the overall look are cool. Bad sadly, it lacks severely in its build, fit and finish... Just too many things to list...

Got mine fixed under warranty

Still waiting for customer services to get back to me!!! :(

Waiting for customer services to get back to me.

All, I was just informed by Ford Customer Services that a TSB will be released in 2 weeks time to fix this problem. I will let you know if I hear anything further. :thumbsup:

I agree... no fix then what's the point in taking time off work. Just got to look at how many poeple are viewing these hot threads. For me and being my first Ford car I know what my feedback would be for potential new Ford buyers! Yes they may have created FMEA's but no longer practice that...

Perhaps the best course of action would be to contact a major automotive magazine to publish an article and customer feedback on this issue. Any suggestions? We could start a poll for customer satisfaction (in terms of how Ford are dealing with this issue and the smelly exhaust fume issue...

My 2nd row bench seat rattles behind the driver side. When someone sits on the seat and you drive on bumpy roads does it still rattle?

ok thanks guys just thought I would ask.

This might be a silly question but I will ask anyway. Are folks experiencing this fault when driving in wet conditions... either wet roads or raining? Just wondering if the fault is tied into the traction control or some electronic component is shorting out.

When will the NHTSA finish their investigations?

Came home after work last night and my daughter told me mummy's car stinks! Yes, my wife accelerated hard to change lanes and she reported a super strong gas smell inside the cabin. Tested myself later that night and they same thing happened. Add me to the list!

This is making me sh#t scared! My wife has the 2011 and she hasn't experienced any failure yet (touch wood). What is Ford's advice to be proactive with this specific failure: 1. Sell the car 2. Wait until my wife and child veer off the high ramps in Texas! 3. Issue a recall and fix...

Cory, has Ford determined a 100% fix for this issue?

Adam, don't get me started... Once I have enough energy I will officially reply to this thread. Basically ford have no clue how to fix this issue. The result is your car will be gone for weeks, new hatch fitted and it may look worse than you started with. Everyone... Check the gate, if it looks...

Thanks Cory... was trying to avoid another trip to the dealer since the car has been in and out constantly getting stuff fixed.

Ok thanks for checking... Will check a few other sources before taking to dealer

Quick question: My 2nd row seat is rattling on rough roads. If someone is sitting on the seat it doesn't seem to rattle which leads me to believe the issue is coming from the bottom of the seat where it hooks to the rod on the car. My question is: when you pull back the seat and expose the two...

My EX averages 19.6mpg 70/30 city/hwy with 4 adults and 2 kids (20" wheels/V6/FWD).

That is unreal... actually my misaligned tailgate and spoiler are my biggest complaints with this car. It looks so bad, almost like the car has been repaired after an accident. But really it just demonstrates lack of quality control. As I have said before mine was so bad that the spoiler was...

Unbelievable! Going to get mine fixed on Thursday... getting more nervous now

I was in the same position as you not too long ago. I accepted that I might need to get some TSB issues fixed... but when I finally went for it i overlooked the "misaligned tailgate problem". After a few days of receiving my car I noticed that the spoiler and liftgate were grossly...
