Consumer Description

HELLO, I HAVE A FRIEND WHO WORKS AT CARMAX, HE TOLD ME ALL EXPLORERS NO MATTER WHICH SUFFER FROM REALLY BAD RING AND PINION GEARS. MY FATHER IN LAW BOUGHT A BRAND NEW EXPLORER LAST YEAR, THIS YEAR IT HAS 50K MILES AND THE RING AND PINION ARE WHINING LIKE CRAZY. FORD KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFECT BUT THEY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL 2010 WHEN MOST OF THE PEOPLE'S WARRANTIES EXPIRE IN MY OPINION. THEY SAY THE SAME TO EVERYONE, THAT ITS NOT TOO BAD TO CONSIDER REPLACING IT. *JB
