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.

EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX THIS OVERHEATING PROBLEM AND IT STILL KEEPS COMING BACK. I AM DISABLED AND CANNOT BE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ANYMORE! THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE 05 EXPLORER THAT I AM FINDING ARE EXTREMELY COMMON. I WANT FORD TO TAKE MY TRUCK, FIX THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY, AND IM NOT PAYING FOR IT!
