Ford Explorer
Years: 2002-2004
Ford Explorer has had long and well documented transmission troubles – most notably during the early two thousands. One dealer goes as far as to suggest that one out of ten 2002-2004 Explorers won’t be able to avoid transmission failure somewhere down the line. Hard shifting, slipping gears and flashing O/D light are what accompanies the issue. Typically, early 2000 Explorer should be fine for anything between 50,000 and 100,000 miles before requiring entirely new transmission. You’ll agree, however, that vehicle with that kind of mileage on its odometer shouldn’t require a rebuilt trans. Even one with double the figures shouldn’t be having that problem. You can’t say you haven’t been warned.
