| I have 2 complaints one of which while looking online see that many other ford owners also seem to have. this is a problem with the heater blend box door not working and blowing hot air when in the vent position. this seems to be a problem not only on explorer models but ranges, f150 and other ford vehicles. the repair as stated online by others as well as from the dealer is over $1000.00. it seems that there should have been a recall on this part with so many people having the same problem. also the seat belts get stuck on our explorer it is the passenger side which sometimes takes 10 to 15 minutes before it will work. *jb | |||

| Safety problem with back seat belts. when on vacation we had a serious problem the back seat belts locking up several times each day. the seat belts on one or both sides would not release so they could be apply around 2 small children and we had to pull & yank the belts several times to get the belts to release. the suv was off and the brake was not apply at the time of the problems. this problem could discourage seat belt useage. *nm | |||
