2002 Ford Explorer XLS review from North America
"Biggest piece of junk I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water leaks around the windows are the worst problems. It's been in to the dealer 6 times for the leaks. I also have had it in for suspension squeaks and poor paint on the hood.
General comments?
I've been very disappointed with the vehicle as a whole. For the price I paid I really expected a higher quality product. It rides and drives good with the new suspension package, but the new body style has caused more problems than it's worth.
