I have a 1999 Explorer XLT with 87,000 miles on it, 4wd. When I bought the truck at 81,500 miles I noticed a steering wheel vibration and a "kicking" in the rear end, I would accellerate and it would feel like I was driving over little cracks in the road... I wish I could put it in a better term but it just doesnt seem to be working haha. I had it taken to the dealership (I bought it used from a Subaru place) and it still had the 3000 mile or 3 month warrantee, they found out the problem and fixed it, $938.00 out of the dealerships pocket later it was the right front hub assembly...

I took it back a few days after, it was not that problem because it was still there, they fixed it and the bill was $175 something, it was gone... now that is BACK and it's scaring me because I am getting an EVO when I get back from training and if I don't want to get nailed with loss on trade in I need to private sale it... so I was going to sell it, and get some $4000-5,000 car... honda, toyota etc. Easier to sell when I will need to next spring for the EVO. What do you think it is? I took a mechanic from the Ford dealership on the road with me and pointed it out, but it's back, this time with no steering wheel vibration, just a feeling on smooth roads that I drove over cracks, only on accelleration though. UGH **** FORD!

 

good luck! My in-laws had a similar lapse in judgement and recently bought an Exploder with 45k miles on it......7k miles later they had to put a new tranny in it.

 

Does it sound like something to do with that? Is there anything I can do in regards to the dealer? I went back TWICE about the SAME friggin problem and it never got fixed the first time when it should have... I am far past my 3,000 mile warrantee but considering the problem was adressed but not fixed is there anything I can do??? I ****en hate domestic CRAP!
