2000 Ford Explorer XLS review from North America
"A waste of money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wiper motor has been replaced twice.
Fuel gauge sensor replaced.
Bad Idle Air Control motor needed to be replaced.
Rack and pinion leaking.
All by the ripe old age of two!
General comments?
I really like my Explorer, but am fed up with the steady stream of problems. The last ones being the Idle Air Control motor and leaking pinion. My Explorer has just over 38,000 miles so now I pay.
I won't be taken again, as much as I like it, I will chose another SUV next time.
Sorry Ford, this is my first experience with your company and I won't be a repeat customer.
