To Ford's credit, this is an entirely new platform, in a completely rebuilt plant.  I expect hiccups at launch.  I'm not excusing it, just trying to explain how stuff happens, and how it takes a bit to make things right.

So why are they still building them ?

 

Worse, they have so many of them they have to ship them to Flat Rock for repairs.  That is INSANE !

It would screw up things even more to stop production and then restart it? Part of the problem is that this is Ford's third best selling product and a profitable one at that-so they need to keep the dealers lots full.

This report is even more critical than freep's and also talks about what people on some forums are saying, including a quote from this forum.

 

Way to go BlueOvalForums! :happyfeet:

 

"A Freep source told the paper of Explorer transmissions "leaking so much that it looks like a crime scene," and a Blue Oval Forums member with three Explorers on his dealer lot said two of them were bad, with an "AC leak on one. Coolant AND transfer case leak on the other."
