    Transmission shudder and spark plug fix

    First, let me say that I've found the posts of others to be extremely helpful and I want to say thanks. So, I just bought a 2008 Mountaineer with the 4.6L 3v V8. (My '05 Ex was going to die.) Not long after buying it, I noticed the dreaded 45-55 mph transmission shudder. Of course, no check...

    Sloppy Steering and Shuddering over Bumps

    Hi all, This is on an AWD 2003 Explorer XLT with the 4.0L engine I've been noticing a problem getting progressively worse over time. The steering seems to be getting more erratic and sloppy each and every day. I can still control it well, but it is a struggle to keep it dead center in a lane...

    '03 Mountaineer - "shudder" when turning

    New here - sorry if this has been covered. It's an AWD 4.6L. When the vehicle first starts up and I drive it, it runs and turns perfectly with no issues. This lasts for about 20 minutes. After driving it a while it will shudder and shake when I turn the wheels more than 20 degrees or so...

    2003 Mountaineer Transmission Problem?

    My car is 4.6L V8 with 117,000 miles. It was driving great, no issues at all. I've gotten all the service done in the last six years at a Ford dealership. I went to get an oil change last Thursday and when I drove out it immediately started "shuddering" - it vibrates for a few seconds every...
