We were traveling i-26 from sc back into nc after thanksgiving. my car dinged and said coolant temp was too high. thankfully i was right at a rest area and immediately pulled in and turned off the car. tried adding coolant and it poured out the bottom. had my explorer towed to my mechanic. turns out the water pump blew. in most cases a water pump replacement is not a big deal. except whoever designed this engine was not thinking because the water pump is inside the engine. so even to replace the water pump (a part costing less then $200), the labor makes it at closer to $1500. but, also, because the water pump is inside the engine, when it blew, coolant and water went into my engine causing engine failure, meaning the whole engine now needs to be replaced. so a car with 71,000 miles on it needs a whole new engine because of a water pump. i am thankful i was in a position to pull over immediately, because if the engine had gone out on the busy interstate, that could have been a terrible crash. ...
My 2011 ford explorer was in motion on a city street when the water pump immediately failed. this happened without warning. there were no check engine lights or warning signs. my temperature gauge shot up and my engine seized. the engine is unable to be turned on at this time.
Was driving the car and as soon as we pull in the parking lot the engine light came on and the car won't move. it was towed to ford mechanic and they said the water pump was fault which made the coolant to enter the engine hence messing up the engine and i needed to replace the engine. it cost me arms and legs to fix the engine. ford need to recall water pump failure which is leading to costly fixing of the engine. the roof was also leaking and the water was dripping through back seat belt. today i was pulling off the parking the power steering fault light came on , and it was hard to turn the steering . this car has a lot if prblems .
My 2011 ford explorer only has 104k miles. in october of 2018 the car repeatedly shut off while driving home from work with no indication that anything was wrong. the next day it happened again, when i got it to finally turn back on the check engine light came on. i took it in to be checked and was told the antifreeze has spilled into the engine and we would need to replace the entire engine! i bought this car brand new and have had numerous problems including the steering lock recall as well as needing the radiator replacement in the first 3 months of my purchase. also, no indication prior to those incidents either! i currently have this car sitting in my driveway and no answers from ford. the cost to fix is over 6k! i noticed a recall being issued for this problem, however my model car is not included! this should include all ford vehicles.
