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.

After sheering 2 wheel studs, now have a click/clank noise coming from the rear end. Not all the time but very noisy, makes people on the street look. Mechanic who fixed the studs is now wondering what it is since this noise isn't all the time. I look after my Ford, but now it's going in weekly for maintenance, It keeps it up I'll be repairing as much as a monthly truck payment!!! Can't win!
