Hello Guys!

I really love the desing and capabilities from the Explorer ST 2025, therefore Im planning to buy one for my family but doing some research at google I just realized that there are many complaints with this SUV such as:

- Infotainment failures
- PCM failures
- Bad Quality of assembly, many noises at the cabin.
- Electronic issues, brakes flailure, steering and all systems.
- Engine and transmisison issues.


I would really appreciate your honest input in terms you can guide me if these problems really exist or not. Im not willing to pay for some vehicule that has a lot of complaints at atll. You as users, you really recommend it?

Many thanks!

Infotainment sometimes crashes sometimes, but it’s not all out failures. Never heard of PCM failures. Noises, yes, unfortunately that is common. Electronic issues, not really common. Engine and transmission failures are uncommon.

I've yet to have one that occurred more than once, or has come back repeatedly.

You just made a list of potential problems with every newer vehicle on the market.
