Transmission replaced at 90,000 miles.
Automatic 4x4 hubs failed, replaced with manual locking hubs.
Radiator tank cracked, radiator replaced.
Tires recalled.

The Explorer is a bit top-heavy and is clumsy.
Under-inflating tires to improve ride will cause Firestone tire blowouts.
The Explorer eats gas.
A foreign car would probably be more reliable.
I believe that the review was OK. If all the recalls are listed in the review than it was a great review.
You should also mention that the spare tire cable is likely to break due to corrosion. It happened to me while I was driving along a highway. While another vehicle was hit by the bouncing spare wheel there were no injuries or damages.
My Cruise Control stops working once in a while. What could be wrong with it? The Fuse will be OK it does not burn out.
It happen when I go over a big Bump or rough Road. Where is the loose conection,anybody knows???
My address is : LMVON@MSN.COM Thank you.
Lost the spare tire on my 94 Ford Explorer. Cable broke.
Don't know when or where. Hope no one was killed by it.
Also had a 85 Dodge Caravan with the same cable system.
Found that tire in my driveway after I backed over it.
Time to recall this unsafe system.
