1999 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"I think Ford should do a totally recall on the Ford Explorer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Numerous recalls.
The windows whistle.
The vehicle feels like it is top heavy.
The transmission has been rebuilt twice in the last 2 weeks.
Tires, of course.
The windshield wiper works sometimes.
Arm rest broke off.
Compact Disc player skips badly.
General comments?
I will not ever purchase a Ford Motor product ever again due to the fact of how dissatisfied I am with the performance of this vehicle.
I am also highly displeased at how difficult it is for me to try to trade this vehicle off.
I am however pleased with the service I have gotten at the dealership I purchased this vehicle from.
However, the sales people are another story.
