Ongoing reliability nightmare

Fourteen months, more time at the dealer than my driveway. Turbo failed at 8,000 miles, infotainment blank at 11,000 miles, persistent vibration they cannot locate. First and last experience with this brand.

My favourite commuter ever

40 miles each way. The 2022 Ford Explorer makes the commute genuinely enjoyable. Seats stay comfortable, adaptive cruise works brilliantly, fuel costs reasonable. After 25,000 miles nothing has gone wrong.

Great daily driver, small gripes

Eight months in — fuel efficiency, comfort, and city traffic handling are all impressive. Gripes: rear legroom slightly tight for tall adults, auto transmission occasionally hesitates. Minor. Overall package excellent.

Best car I've ever owned

I've owned many cars and the 2022 Ford Explorer is comfortably the best. Interior feels genuinely premium, ride is smooth, infotainment actually works. My only gripe is wind noise at motorway speeds — minor on an otherwise outstanding vehicle.

Exceeded every expectation

Nervous buying without testing more alternatives but after 18 months: not a single unplanned shop visit. Safety features have intervened twice on the motorway. Comfortable on long journeys, easy to park. Everything you want.

Solid choice — does most things very well

The 2022 Ford Explorer hits a sweet spot for me. Refined enough for the motorway, economical enough for commuting, and practical enough for family duties. I'd have rated it five stars but the infotainment system has a frustrating habit of not connecting to my phone immediately on start-up. Software …

Worst car purchase I've ever made

I cannot recommend the 2022 Ford Explorer based on my experience. Within the first year I've had a transmission issue, an electrical fault that left me stranded, and a persistent engine warning light that the dealer cannot diagnose. Every visit takes the car off the road for a week. I had high expec…

Ongoing reliability nightmare

I've owned my 2022 Ford Explorer for fourteen months and it has spent more time at the dealer than on my driveway. The turbo failed at 8,000 miles, the infotainment screen went blank at 11,000 miles, and there's a persistent vibration the dealer cannot locate. This is my first experience with this b…

Disappointed — expected better reliability

I bought my 2022 Ford Explorer based on strong reviews and brand reputation, but I've had ongoing electronic issues. The infotainment system has crashed twice requiring dealer visits to reset. The automatic emergency braking has triggered unexpectedly three times, which was frightening. Dealer has b…

Resale value is remarkable

Three years into owning my 2022 Ford Explorer and I just had it valued for part-exchange — I was genuinely shocked how much it's retained. Depreciation has been far lower than I budgeted for. The car itself has been completely trouble-free. If you're thinking long-term, this is a smart buy.
