1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer review from North America
"I love this car, it is a beautiful vehicle that would suit almost anybody"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wires inside of steering column wore down to the metal.
Problems with fuses, causing minor problems, such as malfunction of automatic locking doors.
Check engine light comes on occasionally, seemingly for no reason.
Something wrong with circulation of the cooling system.
General comments?
Excellent vehicle in snow.
Seats are adjustable to be comfortable for short and tall drivers.
In this model, you get power everything, lots of extra features including an auto-dimming mirror.
Gas mileage isn't so great (anywhere from 18-24).
