2 Electrical Equipment problem of the 2003 Ford Explorer

Failure Date: 08/15/2003

I have had my Explorer since may 27. It had 11 miles on it when I bought it. The first time it would not start it had 300 miles on it. Eventually I did get it started, brought it to Ford and they could not find a problem. The 2nd time the same thing happened I had 2300 miles on it. I had it towed to Ford. When it got to Ford it started and they could not find a problem. This happened again at 2500 miles and 2700 miles. Ford still has it now. They have had it for a week and still do not know what is wrong with it. The problem occurred on June 5, July 8, July 25 and August 21. So far all work has been warranty but I have been without my vehicle 21 days in the 3 months I have owned it.

3 Electrical Equipment problem of the 1999 Ford Explorer

Failure Date: 05/15/2003

I purchased my Explorer about 1 year ago. I have had nothing but problems with it since I bought it. Just in the last 3 months it has been in the shop at hometown motors at least 4 or 5 times. And everytime they get it in they charge me a hundred dollar deductable plus what the warranty won't cover. I had to pay 1300. Oo for my warranty and I have had to pay almost 700. 00 since then on the work for everything going wrong with the Explorer. I have all of my receipts being gathered . Who can I get ahold of to tell them about this lemon that I bought. I cannot afford for this to keep going on. I still owe the car company almost 300 dollars from last week when my Explorer was in the shop for almost 2 weeks. Please email me back and tell me everything I should do to get this problem fixed. I really appreciate it.

The remote door auto lock does not always work when remote pushed. This happens very often and with both remotes. When this problem exists, the radio gets crackly too. Been to Ford in Plymouth, mn but can't find problem. If I should need to use in an emergency, this could be a major problem.
