Lol.. What was your biggest gripe with the Explorer???
I did not have anything repaired due to my trading in however, reading hundreds (literally) of posts regarding my same issues with my exact model I can only assume my Ex would be no different. I say that in the a lot of the issues below continue even after "repair". Windshields and seals being replaced, 3, 4, 5 or even more times!! Crazy. A waranty covers all that but I still should not have to deal with it and be stuck with a rental for God only knows how long.
A-pillar seals on both sides of windshield are bad. 65+ MPH and there is a howel, rattle or ticking depending if there is a cross wind or not.
MyFord Touch freezes daily. Once a bluetooth phone is connected, the MP3 player music will skip for about a minute. So, if you get in, start the engine, MP3 starts playing music and then your phone connects (automatically), the music will start to skip for a minute. I usually just pause it or go to the radio
Personal preference that I thought I would get over: front wheel drive. Hate it.
EcoBoost engine is not getting the MPG as listed. Not even close. I get about 18.5 city and 21 hwy
Moisture in the mirror turn signals and debris in the [sealed] headlight projector housing.
Video does not work via my MP3 player despite being told and reading that it will play as long as I am in park via RCA cables
Front windows streak occasionally (like a light grease or residue)
Interior lights sometimes stay on after being locked and everything else times out.
I know not the biggest but seriously...too many issues. The windshield rattle is the worst but the EB engine is in a close race with it.
