2004 Ford Explorer Common Problems, Issues, Recalls, and Reliability

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Plastic Intake Manifold May Crack Causing Coolant Leak

    The 1997-2001 Ford Explorer V8 with a 100% plastic intake manifold is known for engine overheating, even with normal use, and a coolant leak from the front of the manifold. This will often trigger the check engine light and low engine coolant warning light .

    The engine coolant leak is from a factory defect, which causes cracking on the front coolant passage of the intake manifold. In a very short time, this leak will lead to engine overheating issues, especially while the vehicle is idling.

    Between 1999 and 2001, Ford released an updated version of this engine, known as the 'PI' version with a metal coolant passage on the front of the intake manifold, to prevent future issues.

    There is no factory authorized repair for the intake manifold, and replacement is required to correct the engine coolant leak and overheating issues.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Replace Rear Wiper Motor if Rear Wiper Blade is Not Working

    The rear wiper may stop working. This could be due to a rear wiper motor that has failed requiring replacement.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer A Cosmetic Crack May Develop on the Liftgate

    A cosmetic crack may develop on the plastic liftgate trim panel. Ford has released a service procedure to replace the applique without damage the the liftgate glass.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Heater Stuck on Hottest Setting Due to Broken Heater Blend Door

    A failed heater blend door or actuator can cause the temperature control for the HVAC system to stop working. A clicking sound from the dash area would commonly indicate an actuator fault. If the heater gets stuck on the hottest setting, the heater blend door may be broken requiring replacement of the heater box to repair the issue.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Worn Timing Chain Cassettes May Cause Rattling Noise From Engine

    A rattling noise from the engine may indicate that the timing chain cassette is worn. Our technicians tell us that installing an updated cassette and timing chain tensioner should correct this concern.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Rough Idle and Stalling

    The Ford Explorer is known for a rough idle , engine stalling, loss of power, and misfires, accompanied by the check engine light .

    The intake manifold O-ring gaskets commonly leak, which creates a large vacuum leak. This vacuum leak causes unmetered air to enter the engine, and the fuel system becomes insufficient to compensate for the large amount of air reaching the engine.

    Replacing the intake manifold gaskets corrects this concern.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Exhaust Manifolds Can Crack and Cause Leak

    A ticking noise may develop from the engine due to a cracked exhaust manifold . Damaged exhaust manifolds will require replacement to correct this issue.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Problems With 5-speed Automatic Transmission are Common

    Various problems with the 5-speed automatic transmission were common. These problems can be more common on the 2002 models with build dates before March, 2002. There are many service bulletins describing the diagnoses and repairs, which include fluid leak repairs, transmission software updates, or internal failures requiring a costly repair.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Spark Plug Ejection Likely

    The Ford Explorer V8 has known issues with the V8 engine ejecting spark plugs . This will make a tapping or knocking noise, plus the engine will begin to misfire at all speeds. The check engine light will also illuminate.

    The threads on the cylinder head of the are too short and soft, allowing pressure from combustion to overwhelm and destroy the threads.

    When the spark plug ejects, the cylinder head becomes damaged, necessitating repair of the spark plug port threads, or replacement of the cylinder head and cylinder head gasket.

    Ford has recommended a method of repair for the cylinder head that prevents the spark plug from ejecting under future use. Replacement of all spark plugs is not necessary, but an updated spark plug design can help prevent this from happening in the future.

    This vehicle is not covered under the TSB, but failure is common.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Check Engine Light After Hesitation or Stalling

    Drivers may notice the engine idling roughly, hesitation to accelerate, and even engine stalling on the Ford Explorer V8.

    The mass air flow sensor (MAF) is prone to fail, and commonly is diagnosed as the faulty component when these issues arise.

    When the Check Engine Light illuminates, and the diagnosis is a failed MAF, it will require replacement to correct the issue.

    Ensuring the air filter is installed properly, and sealed to the air filter housing, can help prevent MAF sensor issues.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Smelling Coolant and Overheating With No Visible Leaks

    The Ford Explorer with the 4.6L V8 is known for displaying the normal symptoms of a coolant leak, including overheating, especially when the vehicle is idling, the strong smell of coolant from the engine, and illumination of the low engine coolant warning light .

    This leak is difficult to locate as it is buried underneath the intake manifold , and only begins to leak coolant onto the ground in advanced stages of disrepair. This leak springs from the heater tube, which allows coolant to flow between the water pump and HVAC heater core .

    When the connection for this tube begins to leak, the coolant burns on the hot engine, and produces a sweet smell that is unmistakably engine coolant.

    The remedy can be complicated, and will necessitate removal of the intake manifold, heater tube, and possibly the water pump. After removal of these items, the connector may be replaced, or a set of o-rings, depending on the year of the vehicle. Most vehicles, model 2002 and later, will have o-rings, and the water pump will not need to be removed.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Rough Idle Due to Cracked PCV Hose

    The Ford Explorer V8 is known for idling roughly, with a slight whistling noise from the engine compartment. After a short time, this may result in poor fuel mileage, and illumination of the check engine light .

    This is caused by a cracked positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve hose, which allows a small vacuum leak, and improper evacuation of engine crankcase pressure.

    Correction is simple, and requires replacement of the PCV hose. An updated part may be available.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Rough Idle Caused By EGR Sensor Sticking

    The Ford Explorer V8 is known for intermittent rough idling, which may be accompanied by illumination of the check engine light , and poor fuel mileage.

    This may be caused by the EGR sensor sticking, causing the EGR valve to stay slightly open, and diagnostic testing must be conducted.

    The EGR valve and sensor must be replaced together to correct this concern.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Spark Plugs May be Difficult to Remove

    Spark plugs in the Ford Explorer can be very difficult to remove.

    Ford has issued a service bulletin (08-7-6) to address this issue, which includes a recommended procedure on how to remove the plugs. Failure to follow the recommended procedure can result in the one or more spark plugs breaking off in the cylinder head .

    The recommend procedure is as follows. Using this procedure will greatly reduce the chance of breaking a spark plug.

    1. Break the spark plugs loose when the engine is warm.2. Turn each plug 1/8 to 1/4 turn and soak the treads with 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon of Motorcraft Carburetor Tune-Up Cleaner or a quality penetrating oil. Do not try to remove the plugs at this time.3. Let the threads soak for at least 15 minutes.4. After the soak period, tighten and loosen each spark plug, working it back and forth until the turning effort is reduced. Then, you can remove the spark plug.

    There are special tools available to remove the broken spark plugs and repair shops will often charge additional labor for the removal of each broken spark plug.

  • 2004 Ford Explorer Problem With Idle Air Bypass Valve May Cause Engine Performance Problems

    If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve . This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.
