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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford 1.0L EcoBoost a hit in Europe; Build a tiny inverter, win $1 million

Mon, Aug 11 2014

In Europe, Ford's 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is the best-selling turbocharged gasoline engine. The three-cylinder motor powers 20 percent of new Fords sold in Europe. Earlier this year, it won its third International Engine of the Year award, and between January and June, it was sold in about 120,000 cars. So far this year, 38 percent of Fords sold in the Netherlands, 35 percent in Denmark and 32 percent in Switzerland have been powered by the 1.0-liter EcoBoost. The engine's turbocharger spins at 248,000 rpm, and provides 24 psi of pressure. The engine produces up to 138 horsepower, depending on the version. Read more in the press release below. When lithium-ion battery packs are retired from the road, remanufacturing, repurposing, and recycling are worthwhile options, according to a study by Mineta Transportation Institute. The study included a cost-benefit analysis of those three options, and found remanufacturing to be the best route. To get the most out of them, batteries should be tested and have their damaged cells replaced then put back to use. Repurposing is the second best option, using the remaining available charge for something besides cars. Recycling on its own isn't profitable, but it could make economic sense with "increased technological breakthroughs." Learn more at Recycling International or download the report here. A smaller inverter for EVs can win you $1 million. The Little Box Challenge is an open competition to build a power inverter with a density of at least 50 watts per cubic inch. Google and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) are offering the hefty prize to the team that builds the inverter with the highest power density within an enclosed volume of 40 cubic inches. Teams must register by September 30. Read more at Green Car Congress or learn more at the Little Box Challenge website.

Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time

Fri, Aug 15 2014

Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.
