2000 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"Great vehicle that has lasted me a long time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Few minor problems.
The door lock on the driver's side is broken.
There is a lot of body rust forming on the rear bumper and hatch door and on the chassis.
General comments?
I have changed the oil and oil filter every 3k miles and have had no mechanical problems. Surprising for a ford.
Very good little SUV with some power too.
Very reliable.
