This is my personal vehicle which I've owned for five years. The value vs. cost of repair vs. time and trouble has just reached a tipping point and we have elected to sell it.

To my knowledge, I am the Explorer's second owner. I hold a clear title. I note that the history report indicates three owners - would that have happened when I moved the title from Arizona to Tennessee? Let me know if you need any clarification.

Please review photos carefully for any body or interior trim items which I neglect to mention. I will be happy to provide any additional photos on request.

Most of the issues for this vehicle are common to this model and model year of Explorer, and I've found that articles and videos regarding the repair are easily located.

The primary issue is the need for a replacement transmission. The vehicle drives, but is slow to change gears, and reverse fails intermittently.
The front tires are new-ish, but the rear set could use replacement.
The a/c blows hot and needs a freon charge.
When we lived in Arizona, the truck was always parked under cover, but the heat affected the original steering wheel cover (photo).
I banged the support on a carport column with the front passenger side bumper - only the plastic part is impacted.
There is also a pair of dings in the hood.
The key is currently stuck in the ignition.
The drivers and rear passenger side power windows need repair. The motor works on each, but the serrated track needs replacing.
The "door open" sensor believes that a door is open.

The vehicle is sold as-is, without warranty.

I will answer any and all questions promptly, but please remember this listing is by a private owner, and not a dealer or mechanic. I thank you in advance for your patience.

A down-payment is required at time of purchase, with the full balance to be paid within three business days. Personal checks will not be accepted, and cashier's checks must be verified. Buyer to arrange pick-up and/or transport. We will work cooperatively to assist with transport.

The 2015 Ford Mustang is not so mellow in yellow

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

When we first saw the 2015 Ford Mustang, much was made of its new, more expressive color palette, which includes the return of both yellow and orange in addition to a new grayish shade, Guard. At that time, we didn't have anything to look at but a few small scale models painted in the new colors - the only Mustangs on display were in Race Red.
For its auto show debut here at in the Motor City, Ford has trotted out a couple of as-yet-unseen shades, including the striking Triple Yellow shown above. The new shade marks a return to a paint color that enthusiasts have been clamoring for, and we must say, it looks excellent under the lights of Cobo Hall.
Stat wise, there are still a number of questions we have about the redesigned Mustang. None of the three engines have had official power figures published. The same goes for pricing information, although if any loose-lipped execs let something slip in Detroit, we'll be sure to let you know. Until then, have a look at the new Triple Yellow Mustang on display at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
