CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2002-2005 Explorer has a very well-established record of expensive transmission failure at under 100k miles. The Explorer has an enclosed transmission which is typically replaced with a rebuilt transmission at a cost of almost $3,000.
Adding insult to injury, the 2002-2005 Explorer also has a massive problem with the rear panel cracking. While it's a minor annoyance compared to transmission failure, ironically the crack usually goes right through the Ford logo.
mirrors on both drivers side and passenger side vibrated so badly I couldnt even see traffic behind me when I looked into them. the dealership I took my car too replaced the drivers side but because THEY couldnt see the vibration on the passenger side they did not fix the passenge side mirror!
