1997 Ford Explorer XLT 4.0
Summary:
I would never purchase another one!
Faults:
Radiator Cracked
Transfer Case rebuilt
Transmission rebuilt (Transmission was serviced a regular intervals)
Just about every sensor replaced
Radio problems
Other costly repairs like the $450 we just spent recently to replace some obscure part.
Left us stranded on two different occasions. I am not sure what was wrong either time.
General Comments:
This car is very expensive to maintain.
I have personally spent over $3,000 to in repairs. This is greater then the combined total that I've spent on repairing every vehicle I have ever owned and I've been driving for 30 years.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I hear you. It is such a bummer to buy a good reliable 8 year old car, with 130,000 miles on it, and then actually have some problems! Boy, it is hard to believe this has happened to you!
