The 2008 Ford Explorer is recognized for its robustness and durability, which also applies to many of its parts. Although it's not indestructible and can experience common issues like other vehicles, one of the components to watch out for is its alternator. The alternator in the Explorer may fail intermittently or suddenly, although it doesn't have a specific prevalent problem. If you frequently encounter a dead battery, it might indicate a failing alternator. It may be time to replace or inspect the internal regulator. Another possible issue could be related to the serpentine belt, causing the alternator to malfunction; fortunately, this is a simpler problem to resolve.
