Description of the problem	1. The radiator on my 2006 ford explorer 4. 0l v6 began leaking after just 3 years and 49k miles--despite regular maintenance. There was no warning signs, the vehicle overheated and fortunately we were able to safely return it to the dealer. 2. In taking it to my ford dealer they said it would need to be replaced at a cost to me of $1200 (since the warranty expired at 36k miles). 3. Ford's issued a tsb in april 2009 with a diagnosis for this issue and have a redesigned radiator they recommend replacing any failed radiators that year with. In contacting ford motor they take no responsibility for this issue since it's out of warranty.
