2000 Ford Explorer EB review from North America
"A black Ford nightmare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First thing to go wrong was the display on the radio went blank. Then three days later the check engine light came on it turned out to be manifold pressure sensor. Every since I had it the valves have been rattling even after using octane booster and buy 92 octane gas. To top it all of the ABS light came on last night. All this has accrued in lees than three weeks. Should have kept my other vehicle. This is my first and last explorer.
General comments?
This vehicle has problems and you need deep pockets to keep it running.
