Four problems related to power window have been reported for the 1998 Ford Explorer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Back in may 2002 my drivers door lock stuck in the locked position it has power locks and I could not get it unlocked unless I pulled the lock button up while I pressed the power lock and unlock switch open an close a multiple amount of times. I brought it to a Ford dealer and had it fixed,it cost me $219. 35 nit was the door lock actuator that needed to be replaced,it has been 1 year almost to the day and it failed again. I think is a big saftey problem because if there is a fire or there is an accident and the automobile ends up in a lake or river the door lock can get stuck locked and a person could get stuck in the automobile.
Power windows failed on three occasions.
While driving down the highway, the rear back window blew out for no apparent reason. Consumer has contacted the dealer. Dealer did not replace window, a window repair shop replaced the window.
Defective tires, hood latch, seat latch, cruise control, rear window wiper, etc. . . The consumer stated the hood latch , seat recliner, cruise control and tires were all recalled. The rear windshield wiper and passenger power window were inoperative.
