★ Top Answer
As Ford Explorer vehicles age, the transmission cooler line may develop leaks. This hose, typically made of rubber, is susceptible to deterioration from carrying warm coolant near the hot engine over time. Most engine hoses are considered consumable components and will require replacement during the vehicle's lifespan. If you observe coolant leaking from this hose, it's essential to replace it promptly. Coolant leaks can diminish cooling efficiency in the engine, potentially causing overheating in either the engine or transmission. Such overheating can result in permanent damage, necessitating expensive repairs or replacements.

Here's a rephrased version: We were on a family trip to the mountains, about 4 hours away from home, when we noticed the car slipping. Luckily, we were close to a dealership, and they were able to fix the issue within 3 hours. Thank the Lord! Hopefully, there was no damage done.

I'm feeling really frustrated and stuck in Bryson City, North Carolina. The Ford dealer here says they can't get the new transmission cooler from Ford for 3 to 5 days. This means I have to pay for a hotel and I won't be able to make it back to my job in Florida on time.

If the transmission cooler lines of your Ford Explorer are leaking, you can easily spot the issue by noticing coolant on the ground under your vehicle. Typically, leaks will start at the cooler, a connector, or a flexible line.
