- 2013 Explorer Limited
The wife's 2013 Explorer Limited was due for a service. It has 23,000 miles on it, 90% of it on the highway.
Recently she mentioned there was a whining sound at any speed and a clunking sound when she puts it into gear.
I had the oil change done at the dealer where I bought it and was told the rear wheel bearings are shot, parts are on order and come back next week.
I was also told the front strut mounts are shot are parts are unavailable. They will let me know when they become available.
I was also told that as of Dec. 31 2014 the dealer is done Ford and I will have to find another dealer to deal with any Explorer issues. The nearest one will be a 2 hour drive each way. Oh joy.
23,000 miles and a $54,500 upscale SUV needs wheel bearing and strut mounts. This is a testament to Ford quality.
This will be the last Ford product My wife and I will ever own.
