The radiator started going out on me. I had to fix it twice. The breakes I keep having the continued fixing them every 4 months. Recently October 25, 2019 it started smelling like burnt rubber came thru the air vents. Things with the electricity oe a shortage. With the tires they put wrong tire size. They told me to sign and go because they didn't have my actual tire size. Its always on the smalls streets and on freeway or. Highway it smells like burnt rubber. The owner didn't notify me or bother to tell me it was on recall already.

I just bought my vehicle on 5/17/20 at a lot called grant motors 2744 fowler St fort myers fl, 33901 during the daytime, they keep pushing, and pushing me to buy it took my id to copy we left without my id, had another vehicle I wanted to buy but had to go back to grant to get id, when pete started at us again and keep coming down on price, till my brother told me it was worth it to buy it, so I did, well during the day in bright sunshine you couldn't see the taillights, nor the dashboard lights, and as driving it home turned on radio to listen to it, all's it would do is flicker, wouldn't change stations, wouldn't do nothing at all, and they put a carfax folder on my dash for me to read at home, that is when I seen the info about the recalls and figured it had something to do with my lights outside and in the dash and the stereo not working at all. Them my brother said he wondered why they continued to drop the price to way more then they first asked for as if they new ahead of time the issues and didn't tell us about any of it. So could someone please let me know what is going on, I now have nothing to drive and no money to buy another I'm old raising two grandbabies one with autism, the other with bipolar please help me out. Sitting in walmart parking lot, and in motion to go home family had to stay behind me to get home safely,

Takata recall. My od light keeps blinking, takes forever to shift I have to take my feet of the gas until I hear it shift then I can press the gas again and the car jerks when the gears shift. The car will shut off if I put the car in reverse or if I change the gear to drive. There seems to be a lot of issues but the od light seems to be common. I took it to more than one dealership and they told me that its a transmission problem. Why hasn't Ford taken responsibility and recall this issue if its happened to so many of us. I am a mother of four that needs her car and this is unfair because its a very expensive fix I was quoted between $2,500-$3,000

When I turn my windshield wipers on they stay on low and will not go off unless I turn the truck off with the wipers in off position. My O/D off light started blinking when I was driving down the road when I turn the truck off for a few minutes it goes off, but comes on a little bit later while driving.

Rear panel cracked without collision or incident rear glass of lift gate exploded upon closing in my driveway, while parked, on Saturday 4/9/201 I knew nothing of a pending class action lawsuit or the defect being complained about by so many Explorer owns from the years of 2002-2005 Ford changed the problem piece after 2005 however they never recalled the lift gate or rear panel insurance will not cover it Ford will not recall or replace it there is glass everywhere and I do not have 500+ dollars to replace it. This was a defect that should be replaced by Ford!

I was pulling out of a parking space and I no more than pulled the gear shift lever back and it broke off. I could not shift at all. The keys got stuck in the ignition, too. I had to leave my car there over night until the following morning when the tow company came. I also could not lock my doors, and it was loaded with working equipment. ( I cannot even imagine if it broke after I had put it in reverse or drive, and been stuck in the middle of the road, or if this had happened in a remote place. ) as you can see by my picture it was actually the metal, possibly aluminum but not 100% sure.. metals should not just break.. this is definitely a defect. I also noted on just one website over 151 complaints for this exact same thing on the exact same year and model vehicle.

I just had my car serviced for a recall at Cherokee Ford in woodstock ga. Just 3 days later, my vehicle stopped working in the middle of a very busy street and I was unable to restart it. I was very lucky not to be hit. It would have been tragic.

The transmission has a 5 second delay when going into reverse or drive. The car transmission jerks forward suddenly and randomly shifts into a higher or lower gear while driving. There is a loud grinding noise while the car is running and while the gears are shifting.

I was riding along the highway in my 2002 Ford Explorer with my two kids on vacation. We had been driving for about 4 hours. I was using the cruise control. I came to a red light then continued on for about 2 miles than all of a sudden the check temp gauge came on and the gauge was all the way hot. I waited for a safe place on the side of the rode to pull over. As soon as the truck was put in park smoke started coming in through the glove box and the hood. My son who was sitting in the passenger seat said his legs felt hot. A passerby pulled over and yelled get your stuff and get out of the truck. We had enough time to get what we could and run. The truck started to burn and all we could do was watch. We were stranded 4 hours from home. Luckily for us the good samaritans probably saved our lives. The truck went from hot to fully involved in a matter of a few minutes. By the time the fire dept. Came the truck was a total loss.

My vehicle surges forward when the brakes are applied. This has happened several times this month.

Over the years we have had repeated problems with the transmission. It jerks and struggles to change gears. When you travel at freeway speeds it whines and jerks when it changes gears and when you're stopped at a light it makes weird noises and hesitates when you put your foot on the gas. We have repeatedly had the transmission repaired over the years.
