1994 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer review from North America

"I with they had SUV demo derbies"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I've owned my Explorer for just over a month. Here is a list of things that have already gone wrong with it:

1. The brakes quit. (Not just slowly went away, they just stopped working!)

2. It has developed a very serious miss.

3. Trans is starting to slip badly.

4. 4 High stopped working.

Manufacturing flaws:

1. Gas tank bottom is rotted and about to fall off.

2. You almost have to pull the engine out to get to the right rear spark plug.

3. Stereo is either full blast or all the way down.

4. Of course we all know about their reputation to roll over...

Things wrong with it when wife bought it:

1. Oil pouring out of rear seal.

2. Driver's seat is all, but worn away to nothing.

3. Rust... Enough said.

4. Idles fine, but sputters and jerks when you apply gas.

5. Underpowered.

6. Exhaust looks and sounds like someone shot it with a fully automatic BB gun.

7. 4 Low Range doesn't work.

General comments?

I have nothing good to say about this vehicle. I have always hated Ford products and obviously Ford is doing nothing to change that.
