I am trying to see if there are any other hybrid Explorer owners out there and what your user experience has been. I have been so thoroughly underwhelmed by my purchase last year. Here have been a just a few of the many and seemingly unending issues this vehicle has had in my 18mos of ownership: *techs not properly trained on how to secure the oil pan after the oil change so it spews oil everywhere *sh**ty fuel economy. <24mpg combined despite eco mode every time I drive and I am not a lead foot and I brake well before the stop. *THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND HAD YO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED AT JUST OVER A YEAR AND WITH 20k MILES ON IT!! (might be bitter for a while on that one) *there is no option to just have rear wheel drive. *3 safety recalls and no fix for any of them yet *sync just decides to not work sometimes like a teenager working at the ice cream shop *the engine hood flaps relentlessly whenever there is the slightest bit of wind. *upholstery was not tucked in and mindful of craftsmanship *ugh.
