If you drive a Ford Explorer, keep an eye out for these issues we've been seeing a lot of in the shop lately:
🔧 Transmission Hesitation or Hard Shifting – Especially in models with the 6-speed or 10-speed automatic.
🔧 Timing Chain Rattle – Common in the 3.5L EcoBoost and V6s—can lead to full engine failure if left unchecked.
🔧 Coolant Leaks or Overheating – A known issue in 2011–2019 models that often gets overlooked.
🔧 Rear Suspension Clunks or Noise – May sound minor, but can lead to alignment or safety concerns.
💰 These repairs can run into the thousands at the dealership—but at I Know A Guy Auto Repair, we’re saving customers 30%+ on the same high-quality work.
