Description of the problem	I am currently having a problem with the vehicle the radiator is leaking, and i have to check the water level in the vehicle every two days to make sure that i do not completely run the vehicle hot and take the chances not having a vehicle by messing the motor up. This problem started just before i made my first payment on the 2006 ford explorer (may 25th) the vehicle began to making a loud noise like a fan continuously running whenever i would come to a complete stop and start moving again. Then one day the air conditioner just stop blowing cold air and the temperature gage started to rise to hot my husband checked the radiator and found that the vehicle needed water bad. We have noticed water under the truck but we thought that it from the air conditioner the water under the truck is due to the fact that the radiator has a leak. We have had to replace the battery on the car as well this cost $79. 00 this had me late for work as i did not find out the battery was dead until i was on my way to work one morning. I have check to see just how much this is going to cost me to have the radiator replaced and it is in the ball park of $400 -600.
