problem

This was my first ever Ford purchase. I am still undecided if it will be my last. On Friday I never drove it off the lot because as the salesman was doing the walk through on the vehicle with me and my wife, the dealer was unable to lock the driver's door. All the other locks would work, but...

I have a new 2015 Ford Explorer LTD. Just over 1 month old and 1000 miles. I noticed the passenger seat leather is starting to separate at the seams...the thread seems to be fraying and sticking up. I made an appointment with my dealer to take a look at this (the driver's side is fine)...has...

Hello all. My 94 Ford Explorer began to get stuck in first gear. When leaving a stop light, the transmission didn't slip but the RPMs continued to climb without switching gear. I figured out that if I wait until the RPMs get around 2000, I can quickly release the gas and slowly repress the gas...

Hey folks, Big thanks to the active forum members. This is a great place for fellow lovers of the Explorer. I have been having A/C issues for some time. Now I'm sure most of you at this point are already thinking to yourself "blend door actuator" but I don't believe that is the problem. My A/C...

Hi. This is my first post. I am stupid when it comes to cars. I am trying to research if "my problem" is a Ford problem. My 2006 Explorer had 32,000 miles when I bought it. Sometime after that we heard the ticking that I have since learned may be something about a stuck lash adjuster? Our...

I have a 2005 ST I have the original 16 inch rims but I put some 275/75 r16 on them and I have a2 inch torsion twist on it. The problem I am having when I engage the 4 wheel drive. It goes fine but the is a little shutter from time to time. Is sounds like a little thud! Then goes away for a...

My 02 Explorer is stuck in 4 lo. I have read a lot on here and am getting a replacement 4x4 control module, but is there anyway I can get my truck back in auto 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive while waiting for my part to arrive?

Hey guys - bought a 2002 Ex about a month ago, and the previous owner had removed the entire parking brake system on the rear end (aside from the cables that needed replacing anyway). I've installed the shoes, hardware kit, and new cables, and the lever too. Now, I've reached a problem. The...

So Ive had my 2003 sport trac for about 5 months now. It recently started pulsating upon starup. Its very hard to explain the problem. It doesnt happen in the mornings, normally when i get off of work. Ill turn the key and go to drive and it will start pulsating, its enough that it makes me move...

So i drive a 93 xlt its all stock only 101,000miles, I hopped on county highway in front of a semi coming faster than expected so i got on my gas pretty heavy. usually the rpms will get going when i punch on it but this time the rpms kind of just took their time climbing. it didnt matter if i...

Hello, My 1992 Eddie Bauer Explorer's engine purrs along perfectly when the vehicle is in neutral or park. When I put it in gear (and the engine is warm) there is a knocking sound from underneath whenever I have my foot on the brake. When I start driving, it goes away. It doesn't happen...

I have a 2008 Ford Explorer. My sunroof will only tilt up. It will not come back down or retract. I removed the upper console to access the motor and was able to manually close the sunroof. I checked the fuses and all seem to be fine. I tested a few things and figured it was a bad motor...

I have a problem with the right flasher. it works fine with the headlights off but when I turn the headlights on the flasher sticks on with the head lights. the bulbs are all good, changed them just to be sure and they all work individually. I think I have narrowed it down to a short in a ground...

Here's a fix for that annoying notchy turn signal thats hard to push. No more flashing your brights when trying to turn! Tools needed: Small flat head screw driver (For prying and scraping) Torx Screw driver (Either a T-10, or T-15, I don't remember what I used) Metric Socket & an...

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting. I have a 1994 Explorer Limited 4x4. 4.0 V6 with 147,000 miles. The automatic transmission works well in most conditions, however it seems to be "indecisive" and shifts hard between 2nd and 3rd gear when going up hill. When cruising down the highway...

Hey Guys, got an 04 Limited 4.6 V8 with a 5R55W(?) in it. my question is, when should my convertor lockup from cold. It doesn't usually lockup for about (4miles) 8 or 10 mins first thing in the morning when its freezing cold. after that, its fine. Should it do that or should it lockup pretty...

Hello. I started my car after volunteering today an i started to hear a putting/clunking sound you can say was pretty loud at first then kind of died down a little but came back while I driving. Went on a little on an off, luckily I didn't have to go far to get home. Got home looked at a few...

Any suggestions? My caber was aligned "to spec" by Pep Boys, but the wheels sit like this when parked or after turning sharp. When I drive, they straighten out and are fine. I am not so much worried about the tires wearing as I am about having possible serious suspension issues. Also, my...

Hi guys, Having problems with my gears engaging. Story goes whilst driving I accidentally hit the gear in neutral without realising, went to accelerate realised it was just revving and whilst still accelerating hit it into drive. Car made a couple of bangs and now it wont engage into any gears...

Hey everyone, I had a problem today when I was driving to work. As always I started the truck and let it warm up until the rpms settled. I hit the road and noticed my tranny wouldn't shift into 4th gear, I was doing 2500 rpm at 40 mph. I noticed a slight delay from 4th to 5th a few months ago...
