Our 2016 ford explorer sport lost power going up a slight hill right before our house and barely made it home. we immediately called the dealership and arranged to bring it the following morning. the drivetrain is under warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles. our vehicle is 4 years old with slightly over 60,000 miles and we also purchased the additional warranty for 100,000 miles. we have been told by the dealership that we will be responsible to pay for the labor of a transmission tear down which takes 18 hrs and $2,000 in labor before we can find out if the warranty will cover the issue. we have also had issues with the heated/cooled seats, the air bags, the parking assist, and steering. we did not spend all this money for a newer vehicle(was 2 yrs old when purchased) just to have several issues that will end up costing us a ridiculous amount of money. this is our family vehicle that we drive our 3 kids around in. we spent the extra money to have something reliable and safe that we wouldn't have to sink money into repairs and also purchased the additional warranty to not have to ...
The vehicle began to overheat when driving at an incline. as soon as the vehicle was level there were no overheating issues. i took the vehicle to the dealership and was advised that the vehicle was overheating due to the grill shutters being stuck closed and as a result the transmission was failing and needed a partial rebuild. the vehicle was still eligible for certain repairs under the warranty, mileage 58,120, so ford covered the partial transmission rebuild as they determined was fit. the grill shutters malfunctioning and being stuck closed were not covered under warranty but the malfunction was a major contributing factor to the transmission failure and overheating of the vehicle. repairs were completed in may 2019. in november 2019 and approx. 2k miles out of warranty and just slightly 2k more miles since the transmission rebuild and grill shutter replacement, the vehicle began to overheat again. the overheating would occur consistently when sitting idle or in motion on streets and on highways. the vehicle was taken to the ford dealership again for diagnosis. it was determined that the head gasket was blown which was causing the vehicle to overheat. ford advised that due to the grill shutters ...

With the cruise control set at ~78 mph on an interstate highway the automatic transmission appeared to shift into a low gear causing the vehicle to suddenly decelerate and the engine to rev to match the set speed. the vehicle decelerated from 78 to about 40 as if i had slammed on the brakes. after stopping and talking with my dealer he recommended to continue as no warning lights or indicators appeared on the car. i continued on the road at a much reduced speed. after a short distance the vehicle again self shifted to a lower gear with the engine rpm's showing approximately 3000 at about 55 mph. dealer is installing a new transmission but can not identify what caused the vehicle to shift gears on its own.
