2017 Ford Explorer 4dr SUV

turbocharged 365hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

74000 mi Fuel cap assembly had to be replaced. Spring and lock closing the door malfunctioned 
17000 mi

US $800
Rear tires replaced after going bald due to towing. Alignment checked but very close to correct. Assume pulling a 2 axle car trailer on 2 trips of 1600 mi caused the issue as the front tires look new. 
7500 mi rear seat belt jammed 
500 mi Re-balance of all 4 wheels 
1860 mi The OEM wheels were installed in place of the Winter wheels on April 12th. First time I had a chance to drive on the OEM Hankooks and there was a slight vibration which gradually got worse over the following days. Took the vehicle back to the dealer and they rebalanced all wheels. Vibration now 95% gone. No Charge. Will continue to drive the vehicle some more to see what happens and report back to dealer service department as requested.
