2000 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"Problematic, but a great vehicle overall"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake pads had to be replaced.
Electrical issues that have yet to be resolved.
Had to replace the battery and bought 5 brand new tires.
Transmission was leaking slowly.
Front axle was seizing up and would have needed replacing soon.
General comments?
Truck is very solid and saved my bacon in a accident where I was hit by a bus.
Hard on gas, but very responsive.
Lots of handy features.
