1999 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"The crappiest thing on wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear windshield wiper does not work AT ALL.
The ABS light is on and refuses to go out.
The undercarriage rattles so bad that it makes you want to drive it into something.
And last but not least, the transmission is almost completely gone, and has pretty much become undriveable.
General comments?
The crappiest car I have ever owned, and WILL NEVER own another one again!
