Description of the problem	2006 ford explorer - problem with radiator. I bought my ford explorer brand new and after approximately 1 year, the radiator started going bad and as of now, i have had to replace 7 radiators. My parents bought the same year explorer and have had to replace 5 radiators. I contacted ford directly, and of course, they told me they have had no reports of the defect. I find that hard to believe. A friend who works for ford told us that they have had problems with those radiators but that there is no solution so they are unable to issue a recall. The most terrifying case was 2 years ago. I was driving through nashville tennessee at 7 months pregnant and my car overheated on the interstate. I had only had my most recent radiator for 3 months. It apparently cracked. The radiators leak fluid so you must check fluids regularly to prevent a breakdown as there has been no warning.
