Ford Explorer 2026 : problèmes, plaintes et rappels

Typique En hausse

La NHTSA a reçu 42 plaintes de propriétaires concernant la Ford Explorer 2026, soit 42,0 par année de circulation — un nombre de plaintes habituel (indice de plaintes 1,04, 1,00 étant la moyenne de tous les véhicules suivis). Parmi les 73 véhicules du millésime 2026 que nous suivons, elle se classe 60e sur 73 selon les plaintes par an (1re = le moins de plaintes). Par rapport aux autres modèles Ford, son taux est inférieur de 17 % ; par rapport aux autres SUV intermédiaires, il est inférieur de 20 %.

Les chiffres sont normalisés par le temps passé sur la route, pas par les ventes : un modèle populaire génère plus de signalements qu'un modèle rare, et les plaintes ne sont pas vérifiées une par une. Notre méthode

Plaintes déposées entre le 2026-03-31 et le 2026-10-13. Délai médian entre l'incident et le dépôt : 6 jours.
