2009 Ford Explorer Owner Comments

problem #1

Explorer XLT 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 145,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

2009 Ford Explorer XLT... I got 5 of the most common problems/failures. Radiator leaks at 140K miles. Water pump fails at 140K miles. Thermostat housing fails at 130K miles. Front and rear wheel bearings fail at 150K miles. Transmission is a crap shoot. Servicing it every 30K miles and keeping my fingers crossed.
