Consumer Description

RADIATORS ON 2006 FORD EXPLORERS. MY FIRST RADIATOR WAS REPLACED AT 37,318 MILES. I NOW NEED A NEW ONE AT APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD REPLACEMENT ON JUST MY VEHICLE. FORD HAS OFFERED NO HELP AS TO THE COST OF REPLACING AN OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PART. CHECKING ON LINE, I SEE OTHER FORD EXPLORER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING FROM FORD. I REQUEST A RECALL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *TR
