WHERE TO START... BROKEN CRUISE CONTROL, HEADLIGHT SWITCH HAS A SHORT, DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW DOESN'T ROLL DOWN, TROUBLE GOING INTO GEAR, CAR SUDDENLY DIES AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, LOUD GRINDING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE BAY (LIKE AN ELECTRIC KNIFE SHARPENER) THAT IS GETTING INCREASINGLY MORE FREQUENT, SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF, BRAKES SQUEAL AND DON'T STOP THE VEHICLE PROPERLY, SUPPORT FOR THE HATCH (WHICH IS CRACKED 8 INCHES OR SO IN TWO PLACES) DOESN'T LIFT HATCH COMPLETELY, AND THE FUEL ECONOMY IS DOWN TO 4-6 MPG IN THE CITY. I HATE IT! I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY GIRLFRIEND IS SAFE DRIVING IT, AND I THINK FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO MAKE THEIR WRONGS INTO RIGHTS! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT PANEL
ON 11/23/2007 MY 2007 FORD EXPLORER WITH 14,600 MILES ON IT WOULD NOT START. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY CHANGED THE MAIN COMPUTER AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT TOOK 2 WEEKS FOR THIS PART OF THE REPAIR. THEY THEN SAID IT NEEDED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH THEY ORDERED. THE NEW PART WILL NOT BE HERE UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF JAN. 2008. SO I WILL BE WITHOUT MY EXPLORER FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS. AFTER THE FIRST 2 WEEKS THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A CAR TO DRIVE. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WAY WAY TO LONG TO HAVE A NEW CAR (RELATIVELY) TO BE REPAIRED. DO YOU HAVE INFO OF THIS PART FAILING ON MORE FORD EXPLORERS. *TR
