[QUOTE="Cobra Jet, post: 16993512, member: 127353"] Even if you were still within the “window” of the CA suit, what would you actually gain from it? Ford points? An Amazon gift card for $25? Some type of “future” $250 discount off a new Ford? A hideeho “we’re sorry chump”? Those CA’s are never good for the consumer, they only make “headlines”, the Manufacturer gets a slap, the lawyers get paid, and everything fades away while everyone forgets…. But the vehicles are still on the road being sold used, most likely with many never repaired, so the next unsuspecting buyer gets the unexpected whammy… All I can say is anyone buying used (or even new), do your due diligence and research BEFORE paying or signing any docs for that vehicle… especially used. There’s plenty of info online with real reviews/complaints from actual owners, or even hit the NHTSA site and review all of the Manufacturer’s communications section to see what problems lurk for that specific year/make/model. Plus there’s multiple forums too for nearly any vehicle where one can find the pros/cons of XYZ platform. EDIT: MFE from Corral? :) And there’s the Ford Explorer forum that has a ton of info. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.explorerforum.com/forums/[/URL] I belong to that forum as well; a few years back I researched some Explorers in the affected year range (retired Police units), and when I came across the info over there about the water pumps - said hell no, and passed (even though a PIU would be very maintained while in service).
