Description of the problem | Second radiator in 2006 ford explorer, first one was at 32000 miles. I have seen over 100 complaints but yet no recall from ford. The first was covered under the new warranty. I was fortunate to have purchased a new service warranty when that one expired, now at 92,000 miles the radiator completely drained causing the motor head gasket to blow. It is currently at the dealer getting a new motor and radiator. |
