 Reading the reviews is very enlightening.  We bought the car new after having good experiences with Ford Explorers.  We have had the same problems as most other people.  Multiple brake jobs, rotors replaced, new tires, alignment issues, then there's the transmission.  Nothing but problems.  Dealer worked on the transmission twice now, first replaced a part, then had to install a completely new transmission.  Well guess what transmission is out again, no warranty, no recognition by Ford of their clearly substandard product.  Car is sitting in the driveway, useless.  Turned off from Ford forever.  Way to go Ford, short term gain, lifetime loss.
