Description of the problem	In late december 2009 i noticed liquid pooling on my driveway from my 2006 ford explorer so i took it to my local ford dealership. I was told the radiator was cracked and the vehicle was unsafe to drive. I had an after-market radiator installed due to the ridiculous price of the radiator from ford. On february 19, 2010, i again noticed fluid pooling on my driveway and immediately took the explorer back to the ford dealership. I was told the o-ring leading into the radiator had "failed" and it was leaking transmission fluid. The dealership said yet another radiator would have to be installed if they could not order the o-rings individually. I was again told the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The o-ring was replaced on february 24, 2010 and i was spared the extra expense of another radiator. The vehicle has 55,000 miles and all regular maintenance is performed on time.
