"A nice car but troublesome"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well let's see... It was a great car, real sharp, had power and would go anywhere.

It also had lots of problems:

Seat beat buckle receivers were plastic and would come apart about once a month, would have to take it to the dealer. Finally after 2 years of that they gave us metal ones.

Transmission - after having it under the extended warrenty and having it slip a lot, they kept saying it was OK. A week after we had it slipping and this time they said it was bad but for 2 years before that it was supposedly fine.

Tons of little problems too.

General comments?

Nice car, bad manufacturer.

Well I thought maybe I could do better so I traded it in for a 97 Explorer. Same problems plus a blown engine at 50,000 miles - supposedly because something we had fixed by Ford was not fixed.

Now have the 2000 Jaguar S Type.

I have a 1991 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4 and it is the best car I have ever owned, I have never had any problems and it drives great. I don't see how many things could have gone wrong. My engine has over 110,000 miles and it was in a rough terrain and some highway and city driving. The car is a dream and in 4 wheel drive it is a real tank. I love it!
