September 17, 2025
By Mich216 from Purvis, Ms
Used to own this car

I LOVED my fully loaded, 2017 Ford Explorer ( Limited 3.0 eco boost turbo charger,) until the engine went out at only 65,103 miles. REPEAT, IT ONLY HAD 65, 103 miles on it!!! And most of those miles were accumulated in the southern flat lands of Mississippi. I am still absolutely sick about it! It only had 13,000 miles on it when I purchased it and I babied it. I will NEVER purchase another Ford again.
