1999 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"A reliable 4 wheeling machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing to go wrong with my explorer was at 57,000 miles the 4 wheel drive system somehow engaged by it self and would not switch back to 2 wheel drive. Dealer cost to fix this was 500.00 for parts and labor.
General comments?
This SUV is rugged, good looking and reliable. If you put a $3,000 dollar stereo in it and a neon under body kit on it like I have you will enjoy it better.. However if you plan on riding with 4 people in the vehicle it will be a tight fit.
