Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, hoses, or master cylinder, leading to decreased braking performance.

Brake pad wear

Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking.

Abs sensor failure

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail, causing the ABS warning light to illuminate and potentially affecting braking performance.

Engine misfire

V6 engines can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Timing chain wear

V-shaped engines like the Ford V6 may experience timing chain wear, leading to potential engine performance issues or failure.

Coolant leaks

The cooling system may develop leaks at various points, such as the radiator, hoses, or water pump, leading to overheating.

Transmission issues

The Explorer is known to have occasional automatic transmission problems, such as rough shifting or transmission failure.

Throttle body problems

Throttle body issues can cause poor engine performance, stalling, or hesitation during acceleration.
