2000 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"Worth the money if you're looking for an affordable SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The idle control valve went bad within a year.
General comments?
This SUV drives like a truck, a bit bouncy, but solid.
I have had only one problem with my Sport and I have found it to be very reliable. The dealer did not honor their warranty when it came in for repair and they were dismissive. But other than that, it's been a great little truck.
