I have not been on here in a while but I thought I would post about the latest issues with my 2011 Explorer.
On Saturday after I came out of the car wash it was warm out and as I was pulling up to the Carpet cleaner my engine coolant is over heating light came on and the engine light came on. I drove home about a mile and had my neighbor who knows more about cars have a look. Turns out the coolant housing was empty, like no antifreeze at all. SO i made an appointment for today and drove my wife's car up to ford and got some special green coolant and refilled it.
So today after they check it out they said the water pump was gone and that Ford will warranty that. They also said that some how both of my engine fans stopped and that would be $392 to replace as the whole assembly needs to be replaced which costs $250. I am not sure how that works but I can see the fans are as cheap as $65 online.
My question for you guys on here is how would both fans die at the same time, could this have been caused by the water pump failing and as such this should all be covered?
The vehicle is a 2011 with 48k miles on it.
On another note when I brought the car in with bubbling paint they said I was 500 or so miles over so it would not be fixed unless it starts to rust. It has now started rusting so I will wait to hear back and see what they have to say.
