2000 Ford Explorer LTX review from North America
"A below average truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear wiper works about half the time. When it does work, the blade only clears 25% of the window.
The serpentine belt snapped at 36,100 miles. Turns out the water pump froze and had to be replaced too. ($500)
General comments?
Generally a good vehicle. My problems occurred while out of state on vacation, which added to my frustration.
