 i bought my ford explorer 2003... 9 years ago.... now had 170.000 miles on it!!!  never never have any problems until now!!!  i rebuilt my transmission on march 2015 and was fine ..i tough that was the end of the problem ..but not....  now in July my car would not accelerate it will  turn on beautiful no noise or nothing!! i took it to the mechanic and he told me is not worth fixing my truck!!!!!!  i need to change the motor and it will cost a lot of money and probably will break again.. i definitely will recommend Ford explorer!!  i almost forgot i did had a accident in 2007 the whole right front was damage but likely the fixed just fine because not problems at all. And in 2012 i almost have another accident in the expressway but thanks to my fast reaction and how good my truck answer to my driving and the brakes responded  was absolutely incredible...  very reliable car!!!!
