Replying to: carostegui (Feb 11, 2008 9:47 am) Regarding the transmission, I have an 04 ( ) but the guy at the shop said there was no recall on file. He had to overhaul (refurbish) the whole thing for $2,500.

Replying to: bryansos (Nov 02, 2008 5:26 am) Can you tell me how you pursued this. I talked to the dealer and all they offered was a 20% discount on the $365. repair and Ford Motor is backing that up since there hasn't been a recall. Any suggestions would be apprciated Replies to this message: bryansos (Feb 10, 2009 5:12 pm)

Replying to: carostegui (Feb 11, 2008 9:47 am) I have an '04 AWD V8 and there was only a recall on the fluid for the transmission not for the transmission itself. There definitely was not one for the transmission inner parts. There was a Technical Service Bulletin for the Solenod which was replaced along with the Pan and Gasket under warranty at 13,000 miles.

Replying to: florida8 (Feb 09, 2009 9:38 am) Hi, my dealer didn't want to fix it, I had to call Ford direct and describe my problem. Before you call Ford direct, get an estimate from your dealer, because Ford will ask for an estimate. The Ford direct # is in your manual, or just ask your dealer. There is a lot of people with the same problem. Good luck.

Replying to: c2cthomas (Dec 04, 2008 10:12 am) My 2005 is in the shop right now 1/3 of repair paid by me and 1/3 by Ford and 1/3 by dealer. Did you figure out no cost repair. if there is a huge problem like there is Ford should be taking care of this 100%. Why should we pay for a known issue?   My heater having an issue also they are fixing under same program or it alone would have cost $1200+ now heater and crack repaired for $400+ still ridiculous.
#3317 of 3320 crack in rear liftgate panel by florida8 Feb 19, 2009 (10:17 am)
So far I have had no luck in dealing with the dealer or with Ford. I did find out that Ford had a service bulletin regarding this problem with the Natl Highway Safety Adminstration but they are unwilling to take care of their "problem" if the car is out of warranty. It is outrageous of them to take this stand. I filed a report with the Natl Highway Safety Adminstration. Maybe if everyone who has this problem filed a report with them , then they would see the enormous problem this is and issue a safety recall Replies to this message: mercurymom (Oct 22, 2009 8:09 am) florida8 (Oct 26, 2009 5:13 pm)
#3318 of 3320 2002 Ford Explorer a good vehicle? by bigdan1 Feb 28, 2009 (5:22 pm)
I am thinking about buying a 2002 Ford Explorer. It has 71,000 miles, and asking price is $5,000. It is a private party in Chicagoland area. I took a quick look and it seems nice, but I don't know anything abouth the Explorer. I have been a Ford man my whole life, but only Taurus since 1993, and a couple of Lincoln Town Cars before that. Any and all input is apreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: florida8 (Feb 19, 2009 10:17 am) If anyone else has this problem PLEASE call the Ford Motot Company and complain. I woke up this morning to the same crack in my 2003 Mountaineer. I called the Ford Motor Company and made a complaint. They informed me there was no recall as of yet because no one is calling them to let them know what is going on. Just calling your local dealership is not good enough. Replies to this message: florida8 (Oct 26, 2009 5:13 pm)

Replying to: mercurymom (Oct 22, 2009 8:09 am) I already reported it to Ford and NTSB to no avail THey have known about this problem since 2003 esp with their Ford Explorers. They are not willing to cover this defect.
