 This was my first Ford Explorer, 2016 Platinum.  I have driven Jeeps and a Tahoe in the past.  I am disappointed with this vehicle in that within the first year of purchase under 15,000 miles the transmission went out with a snap ring failure inside the clutch and additional sensor issues.  Transmission went out and left me unable to accelerate while driving down a busy highway with kids in the car.   It was in the shop over 2 weeks for them taking my car apart trying to figure out how to fix it and get the parts.  In addition the headliner was cut too short from the factory and continues to fall down on the passenger side door.  We paid the premium price Platinum addition and do not expect to have a headliner that is falling down.  It's been to the dealership twice to fix this issue and it is still not resolved.  Finally, my tire tread is already worn out and tires need replaced.  Really?  brand new car, less than a year old, less than 15,000 miles and I need new tires?  I drive in town on regular roads.  I am assuming the tires from the dealership are crap and Ford's taken the cheap tire approach.  I will not purchase a Ford Explorer again and will be trading this vehicle in the near future.
