Tires chipped and cracked at 20,000 km. Ford warranty does not cover tires! Airbag light on at 60000 km and not covered by extended warranty because wiring was blamed. Battery dies at 70000. Very poor support from Ford

I have had this car for 4 months. Already i have had to replace battery. Which was only two yrs old. Its jus cheaply made all around. Then the gas gas just evaporates. I dont understand what Ford was thinking. I will NEVER buy another Ford, and cant wait to trade out of this piece of junk. Dont know what i was thinking. Says it gets 17 mpg. Really its like 10mpg.

Detailed Video Review of this great SUV by owner

2017 Ford Explorer Platinum 4dr SUV AWD (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

Overall, this is an amazing SUV that offers great value and a compelling set of features. The interior is finished well and is much more refined than my previous 2015 Ford Explorer sport. The ecoboost engine offers plenty of performance and adequate MPGs. To learn more about the Ford Explorer, I encourage you to check out my detailed video review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-Hb318m89g I'm sure you'll love it!

Ones your head light is bad... you will have to replace the hall head light piece what it costs more than $500 dll + $200 dll replacement. The only light can you replace manually are the high lights .....
