2008 Ford Explorer Owner Comments

problem #2

Explorer Limited 6 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 92,008 miles

The dam thing cracked at bottom of the radiator, made of cheap ass plastic. Come on Ford, that was the biggest dam joke I saw in years of working on cars & trucks. It expanded and cracked right at the bottom mold line. Ever hear of brass? There's an idea FORD. My wife is highly pissed at your so called Company. We will never buy a Ford again. Cheap asses.

Explorer LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 89,000 miles

Thought it was the transmission going out again, sounded just like it. Car was making the sound like it wanted to go but was having difficulties picking up speed. Took it into the dealer and they said the radiator had a huge hole and could not believe I did not see fluid leaking from my vehicle.
