Welcome to this forum! Were you the original owner?

145,000 miles? You have put all these on yourself?

... Considering the mileage, that is not bad at all! Just broken in now!

Yea : this is not so much a list of complaints it,s just a list of issues so that other ford explorer owners can see and possibly deal with when they pop up . All makes and models have their own intrinsic defects it would be a big help if the manufacturer would publisize them along with the remedys saving the owner a lot of wasted time

The manufacturer has something called a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin). Take a look at the list of TSB's on the 2002, and try not to faint! Recalls are performed free of charge from the manufacturer while TSB's are not free.
