2000 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission would not shift up properly. I have seen other reviews that called this "flaring." This occurred when I had 60000 km and just over 3 years ownership. Ford would not do anything about it except put in another transmission. This truck had a new transmission when I got it! I took it to an independent transmission shop and had it repaired for $750.00.
The sway bar end links had to be replaced at 91000 km.
No other problems with this truck. I have been generally happy with it.
