2000 Ford Explorer Reviews - Page 11 of 13

I have had a few issues; "phantom wiper blades," that is a recall and will be fixed. Also, rear wiper motor is out, but no problem; warranty will repair. Recently, during cold starts, the idle does not stay right where it needs to be, but once I get it in for service, this too will be remedied. Center console, (one with the removable "bag" underneath has cracked, but this will also be replaced. Other than these minor issues which will inevitably be repaired at no cost to me, I am extremely satisfied with this vehicle. I use it to pull our pontoon boat and have pulled it all over the country and never had any problems.

I like this body style much more than the new Explorers. I will take care of this truck, as it is nice. It will one day be a nice vehicle to hand down to my child, and he already has a go-cart and understands maintenance, washing, waxing, so I don't fear it will go downhill once he gets it!

Nothing. I change my fluids, get tune-ups and baby the SUV.

If you take care of these vehicles they will last. If you stomp on it and go 10,000 miles before an oil change you'll kill it.

Tire recall took 6 months to supply new tires.

New centre console, original broken from me leaning an elbow on it.

New oil pan, pan was perforated all over.

New valve body in transmission at 30,000 kilometers.

3 fluid leaks and new seal - new seal within 9 months.

Computer chip defect within 1 month of ownership - windows and cd player stopped working - on a hot day!

I am very disappointed with the reliability of this car. I have been given a loan vehicle - Ford Focus, by the dealer, but that isn't the vehicle I'm paying sweetly for every month.

I don't feel like hanging on to this vehicle once the warranty is up - can you blame me?

Perhaps if I was a man it may have been different.

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!

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.
