1999 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2 weeks old, driver window fell out.
1st year, 1st gear went out, 5-6 recalls.
Firestone recall.
Interior light blink on/off since new.
Back windshield wiper never worked since new.
Rattles when first started.
Door handles stick.
Throttle sticks.
Door locks won't come up.
Overall an alright SUV, but for the 30k I spent I should have gotten something else!!
