1996 Ford Explorer xlt review from North America
"Very Disappointed in Ford"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ball joints twice, wheel bearing twice, misc. electrical, most recently transmission went out.
General comments?
This explorer was a one owner with maintence records when I got it. I only had it 25000 miles.
I take excellent care of my vehicles and this was no exception. I love ford, but my last two were awful. I need a new car company that believes in craftsmanship and reliablity.
