Used 2016 Ford Explorer Consumer Reviews

Save yourself from american made crap!

The 6 speed transmission is a huge design flaw. If you like chugging and lugging at 50 mph like you're driving a standard, then this is the lemon for you. Mine has been in the shop 5 times and still isn't fixed. It shifts too soon and wont gear down appropriately unless you drive like a race car driver. Their approach on making a more fuel efficient vehicle has left this one and only time ford owner with a horrible taste in her mouth. They should have left well enough alone. The 6speed transmission is bad enough, now they have a 10 speed transmission. Buyer beware, stay away from Ford!

2016 Ford Explorer Sport

Gas clunker

I own 2016 Ford Explorer Limited, since I bought it, the gas consumption on that car is really bad. It is 3.5 V6 19 gallon tank, in the city I can only make 110 miles, on the highway not even 300. Please guys help me out here.

wrong purchase

Ruff ride and excessive noise inside cab of vehicle

Steer Clear!

I was very happy with my 16 Explorer until I hit 17,650 miles and the transmission problems began. Would not accelerate, went into "Limp Mode" wrench symbol came on and engine light. Could barely get through an intersection from a stop, very dangerous. Brought it to my closest Ford dealer and after a few days, they replaced the clutch. Got it back and it was driving fine for a few days and it happened again. Brought to dealer again, but they couldn't get a trouble code, the wrench/engine light went off. Got it back again and it drove fine for two days, then lights came back on and went into "limp mode" again. Dealer told me if the lights go on and it doesn't accelerate, drive it right to the dealership and don't turn the car off. I did this and went for a ride with a tech to show him. When we were returning to the dealership, lights went off again and it drove fine. Tech said it was very strange, but they would be able to get a code, even though the lights went off. So now I'm on my 3rd rental and they are trying to figure out the problem. Luckily it's a lease and under warranty, so Ford is covering the costs. Super frustrating and clearly they are having serious problems with these drivetrains. Just glad I didn't buy my Explorer! My advice is stay far away from any Ford vehicle with this transmission!!!
