04 xploder reverse????
When you go to back up say out of a parking spot and you turn one direction or the other it doesnt matter, it feels like thing is in the low side 4wd kinda like. The local dealership is telling me that its the all wheel drive stuff kicking in when it senses the other front tire slippin. It sure feels and sounds terrible ecspecially if your wife has a car of load women going to lunch once week, kinda hard to talk someone into buyin a Ford with products doing things like this.
