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.
Some days the horn works, some days it does not. Took it back to dealer and it worked when there so they could not fix it. I have a similar problem with the door remotes who work somedays and dont' other times. Dealer cannot find problem for either.
