This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
In my 99 Ford Explorer 4X4, the front differential failed costing $2500 in damages. Although there was no accident the vehicle was unsafe to drive and the 4X4 system was not operating. We had no idea, the dealer caught it during a service check.
Noise is coming from the differential while driving. Dealer was notified. The consumer feels that there is a design flaw in the front differential unit. The unit should not have failed so early in the life of the vehicle and after being used only sparingly. The noise still can be heard even after the repairs.
