Consumer Description

2006 FORD EXPLORER IS A LEMON. THOUSAND OF PROBLEMS ACROSS THE NATION. TAKE ONE TO A GARAGE AND THE MECHANICS TELL YOU WHICH PROBLEM YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TELL THEM, ONE OF THREE. TRANSMISSION FAILURES, RADIATOR REPLACEMENT EVERY 30000 MILES AND BAD WHEEL BEARING CAUSING TIRES TO COME OFF DURING DRIVING. LUCKY FOR ME ONLY TWO ENCOUNTERED SO FAR. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. GETTING ON INTERSTATE AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC IS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE MOTORING PUBLIC. AVERAGE COST FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS ARE 2500.00 TO 4000.00. FORD SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THESE VEHICLES FOR SAFETY ISSUES. *TR
