Consumer Description

THE ENGINE MAKES NOISES SIMILAR TO A DIESEL ENGINE. FORD SUPPOSEDLY HAS AN INTERNAL BULLETIN ON THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT FORD WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM PRIOR TO SELLING THE VEHICLE. THEY HAVE AGREED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BUT NOT TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE. I EXPECT THAT THIS PROBLEM EXIST IN MANY FORD EXPLORERS.
