Strange ODO display

    Feb. 25, 2013
    Some 2006-2010 Ford Explorers, Mercury Mountaineers and 2007-2010 Explorer Sport Trac vehicles may exhibit a condition where the odometer display reading momentarily flips from the bottom to the top of the message center screen, then back to normal display mode (Fig. 1). This concern may be very intermittent and difficult to verify.
