1996 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"Not happy with the truck's performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Motor has two collapsed lifters making a chattering noise.
Motor hesitation when driving slowly in traffic. Rough riding.
Bad gas mileage.
Automatic locks are going off, lights flashing when in traffic, just sometimes.
General comments?
Ford should be more careful when designing motors.
