2010 explorer 14,000 miles transmission seems to slip, i should have done more research before buying this car. I wanted to buy American but i should have bought foreign unfortunately.
Worst vehicle I have owned.

Bought on eBay. It was Navy cop car with 66,000 miles. It had 16 codes on it. Had to replace computer. $2000. 500 miles later, the engine started rattling and there was hold in left valve cover. Worn timing chain guides. Recommended fix is installation of remanufactured engine. $7000. I will have to drive it until I am 120 to break even.

Bought Explorer 1 yr ago in 2019 with 158K on it. Looked great and drives good. Lots of power and seating for 7 passengers. Wanted to drive kids to school and to pull a 5500lb trailer for camping. Does that, roomy and tows well. Soon after I bought it, things start to break down. One thing after another within weeks of each other. Thankfully nothing major like engine, tranny, or transfer case. But a Ford trained mechanic told me about flaw in the camshaft pulleys that tend to go on the 4.6L V8 engine around 200K. SUV gave me not much confidence at all. I though the AWD and snow tires will keep us safe in the winters but I was feeling the back end sway on the highway. This was the only vehicle I felt scared while driving with white knuckles. I'd rather drive my RX7 rear wheel drive and drift around the snow or my old Jeep Liberty than this Ford. This was my first Ford and most likely my last. I have owned Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Jeep, and Chevy. You get what you pay for, so might as well pay more and get a Toyota.

We've been having a lot of electrical problems. We bought the car in April 2010 and had the first problem less than a month after. ABS Module no communication has been our problem. Problems include: Service RSC (roll stability control), interior signal lights not working, automatic pedal, DVD player, media sync, phone sync. Brought it into the shop I believe a total of 7 times and its still in the shop for the DVD and Sync system not working. A regional engineer worked on our car twice. Trying to get my problem resolved, I want my money back! Don't buy a Ford!
A very nice SUV!
