Hunk of....
I'll get the donuts, theres a Krispy Kreme near by, I'll make sure the "Hot and Fresh" sign is on. My problems arent as severe as yours, and I hate seeing it that bad. Mine runs strong (stronger than most?). Problem being the rest of its coming apart, various squeaks and rattles (that have recently come to surface). My latest step is to buy a 36 shot roll of film, and start taking pictures of other Explorers. They claim body flex is why my doors continue to rub through the paint ( I do not go on severe offroad trails, basically just dirt roads and I rarely even do that), I scream BS. Either they don't want a callback on something like that, or they really dont know. Either way, I don't care, I'm gonna take the pics to the dealer and see what they say, after that I call Ford. If they do buy it back (or I'm told I can sell it), I'll take cash instead of the new fourwheeler I was gonna get, and go out in search of my 01 LIGHTNING. If not a LIGHTNING than a new GT.
