Consumer Description

I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR 2 TIMES AND GETTING READY TO REPLACE FOR THE 3RD TIME. THIS IS MY 1ST FORD VEHICLE AND IF THIS CONTINUES IT WILL BE MY LAST. I HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 FORD EXPLORER AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. A RECALL. FORD STAND BY YOUR VEHICLE. IT LEAKS TRANSMISSION FLUID AT THE RADIATOR AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IS REPLACE THE RADIATOR. ALL 3 TIMES IT LEAKS AT THE SAME PLACE. MY MECHANIC SAYS THERE IS NO STABILIZATION FOR THIS HOSE SO IN A SHORT TIME IT BREAKS AND STARTS THE LEAK. FIX YOUR PROBLEM FORD.
