"It sucks the gas but I Love My Eddie Bauer! ;o)"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Just purchased explorer 1st of april, from a friend, it has new Michelin tires, interior is in excellent condition, body is glossy and no scratches or dents, the radio display does not work, I have replaced the brake pads, battery, a/c has a leak, but with freon charges it blows cold, the front passenger shock needs replaced, alignment is straight. Gave it a tune up after 108000 miles, replaced horn, ground off the stop on the rear wiper arm so the wiper would make full contact on the rear window.

General comments?

I drove the vehicle 4000 miles after purchase on a road trip with the back loaded down with heavy luggage for the last 2000 miles. I went to empty a storage unit and used the explorer to haul. The vehicle handled very well.

There is a recall on the drivers seat which still needs to be dealt with.

With regards to the following portion of your comment:

"ground off the stop on the rear wiper arm so the wiper would make full contact on the rear window."

Where is the "stop", and how did you grind it down? My rear wiper is all, but useless, so any help on this is most appreciated.

Thanks!
