[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 743492, member: 60724"] Caymen said: I hope by "some members" you aren't implying me, because if you are then you are putting words in my mouth. I even tried above to state that I never said EVERY '04 is going to fail when I said: I stand by that. The incident rates of Explorer transmission problems seems high and seems to often occur at low mileage based on comments from this site, and others like it. Also, what is the #1, most oft quoted reason for buying the 75k mile extended warranty? Answer: To protect against the dreaded 2/3 transmission flare. Many here discuss the problem, many people are hit by the problems, and many people are guarding against the problems with ext warranties; but I guess we are to assume there are no transmission problems? Yeah, maybe the incident rate is only 1 in 10, or 1 in 20, or even 1 in 100...but ANY of those factors, IMHO are too high. If one pays $30k for a light truck, then one should expect that said vehicle will be reliable well beyond 100K miles, with exceptions being in the 1 to 1000 or 1 to 10,000 odds. I really don't think that Ford is getting that with their Explorer trannies...not even close. But of course, I have no hard data...I will be the first to admit that. TJR [/QUOTE]
