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.
the first time i drove my truck on the highway i felt and heard a strong vibration coming from the driver side front tire. i only feel and hear this while on the highway. its annoying as hell but doesnt effect the performance of the truck on the highway. after trouble shooting i found out the driver side front wheel hub was lose.
Is the second time that this has happened, I'm mot sure but probably it's the hub again. It must ost be something wrong with the hub itself, or the sensor or computer or abs, anyway, every time while driving and press the brake pedal ,I feel a noise and shaking coming from wheels.
