Noisy Tires on '05 by
Big Shoe
The original equipment Goodrich tires on my '05 Limited have suddenly
gotten quite noisy. They have been rotated every 5,000 miles and show

the speed limit is...

Heated Seat Failure by
Big Shoe[_2_]
The heated driver's seat in my '05 has quit working. When I push the
button, the light on the dash shows that the heat is on but nothing
happens. Someone posted in the Explorer Forum saying they had this
problem and the dealer told them it would cost around $1000 to fix. If
true, it sounds like...

several minutes of this, CD6 will begin to play. Next time I turn off
and restart, same thing...

2000 EG Oil Pressure sending unit - Stuck? by
Bill
The oil pressure gauge (I know it really is an idiot light with a needle),
appears to be stuck at the bottom until the engine warms a bit, then it
"pops" to the proper position. Does this behavior indicate a bad sending
unit?

AWD front end crunching noise by
bill
1996 AWD V-8 with 150,000 miles. Makes a clicking/crunching noise; can hear
it especially well when coming to a stop and there's no engine noise. I'm
thinking U-joints? Never replaced anything on the front end except shocks
and brakes. Is this a big job? What's it going to cost me?
Thanks,
Bill
