Ford = problems with the car

I have this car for little over 3 years. Already I have been spending thousands on the repairs. 1st I had to change the water pump which is all the way inside the engine. Which it cost about $2500. One year after that car start shaking. One year after that car start shaking It was very hard to find the problem change the spark plugs, coils, Issues still remained. Then mechanic says it's a transmission And it was manufacturing issues something about oil. It costs me over a $1000 to fix that. I can promise you I will never buy Ford again.

Serves its purpose

Our 2017 Explorer definitely does everything we expected it to do from AWD, to tech features, to being able to haul cargo. The 3.5 without the turbos lacks desired power, and we expected better fuel economy. The front seats are not as comfortable on long drives as we had hoped either. Overall, after driving different models, it seems we would have been happier with a higher model such as a “sport” or “limited “

2017 Ford Explorer

My Ford Explorer is very comfortable and roomy for its size. I am a little concerned about the quality of the tires that came with the car. They were Korean made and I needed to replace a tire after only 3-4 months of owning the vehicle. I ran over something and it could not be repaired. There was hardly any tread on these manufacturer's tires, so my husband replaced all my tires with a better-tread tire. We also have some loping and missing when we first take off. The dealer can't locate the problem, so for now I am living with it. Not happy, but those are the only issues. Everything else on the vehicle is top notch.

what a deal

I have had 2 Explorers, one was a 2014, and now the 2017. I have issue over issue with the car, maybe not so much the car but the Ford Company. I bought the car in July, and wanted after market items on the car. Well after they put some on, found blemishes in the paint, they put the after market right over the top, then they repainted my car, got it back and found my bumper was scratched side and back. I brought it back and then they said it would take 3 weeks to get a new bumper, I was mad and went and got my car, we looked and it was replaced, nobody even knew it. They lost my keys, found them the next day on the mechanics tool box. My car does not shift right when it is chilly out. My luggage rack broke within a few weeks, they ordered a new one and that took 3 weeks to get. They even called me and told me it was in and then they called and said that it was not in. I gave up on Ford. I will have to find a new Dealership and a new Car Company.

2017 Ford Explorer

There are many good features on my 2017 Ford Explorer, but the view through the back window is not as good as older years, the driver’s foot room is also not as good. Saying that it is still a good vehicle.

2017 Ford Explorer

Water pump located deep in the engine compartment, necessitating more time therefore higher cost to access. Repair tech advised this was an unusual design & could not account for the logic in placing the water pump so inaccessible underneath so many other engine parts that would have to be taken out & replaced.

Great hockey taxi

Went from an expedition to the explorer. So far plenty of storage for two kids in hockey and lots of travel. Easy to use sync is a huge bonus!

New car purchase

I have always been a lover of Ford Explorers, and this new 2017 makes me happy. Last one was a1994, and probably would still be driving it if someone hadn't crashed into us and wrecked it. It's ruby red and I just love the color. If I had to change something, I would prefer the larger back up camera, rather than the small one we have. We are old, so need bigger scope.

This Rig is Incredible!

We have less than 4000 miles on our new 2017 Ford Explorer 4 x 4 XLT, but both My wife and our 69 lb Lab Molly love our Ford. The comfort, the bells, and whistles, the handling, are amazing. Not to forget how much we can haul in it, the gas mileage, the size are great for our needs, This is My first Ford I have ever bought brand new and we got it because of how high it was rated for Safety, We could not be more impressed by its looks, and quality workmanship. Keep up the Great Work Ford SHamilton

Great car

The 2017 ford explorer is simple great... Quality of build, design, and functionality are all great. The I-4 twin turbo engine provides sufficient power and excellent fuel economy for this midsize SUV. Excellently appointed in THE LIMITED trim line.
