Description of the problem	I believe the ford explorer 2006 radiators need to be recalled! First of all, let me just say that on carcomplaints. Com there are 47 complaints about radiator leaks and having to replace radiators. I believe this to be a safety issue because if it overheats... It could leave someone stranded on side the highway, or even explode or catch on fire! Please look at carcomlaints. Com and review the complaints about ford 2006 explorer radiators! Many people have gotten this same radiator replaced more than once! Ok, now to me... I bought a 2006 ford explorer in january of 2006. In march of 2008, i was told that my radiator needed to be replaced. I couldn't understand why a vehicle with 40,000 miles on it, which get scheduled maintenance checks regularly with a mechanic could have such a problem. Well, needless to say... I got it repaired out of pocket because my 36,000 mile warranty had expired. It was very costly. Well,i continued to get my vehicle maintenance as scheduled. Well, just a couple of days ago or less than 23 months(less than 2 years) later, i experience the same problem. Another radiator leak! I hardly even go any where! The new radiator was yet again another ford radiator! I could have been left on side the road or had some sort of explosion! I believe there are defects in these radiators and i believe that ford motor company is issuing out faulty equipment. I believe that we, the consumer, or suffering the consequences due to their need to stay afloat. Afterall, they too needed a bailout and what agreat way to save money if radiators or builtto last only a short time,and people go to keep paying for new ones! Please check on this. I believe a recall is needed!!!!!!!! P. S. While writing this letter, just received a phone call that a technical alert has been put out on 2006 ford explorer radiators, and because of the complaint ... The model is not being made anymore! Please check into this!
