It drives and that's about it.
Purchased this car used with a completely dead engine. We did two engine replacements, but later found out that we likely only needed to do one because there was a very small issue we didn't notice at first that I guess had a chain reaction and prevented the entire engine from working. This car has defeated me many times. Particularly in the wintertime, it gets cold and refuses to start, and often has problems at stoplights moving again. I'm sure the air conditioning worked at one point but it doesn't anymore, nor does the heating; which makes this care miserable to drive in hot or cold weather. The power windows have needed to be repaired many times. I must say, it's when it's 101 degrees, the air conditioning is broken and you can't even roll the windows down. It also makes going through a drive through pretty embarassing. The front windows are now working, back windows are not. The sunroof leaks in the rain and drips into the celing light. After getting some repairs it drives fine though. I haven't had problems starting it since last winter. Here's to hoping it gets me through this winter lol.
THESE TRUCKS SHOULD DEFF HAVE ALOT OF RECALLS
Ok So I Currently Own A 2004 ford explorer XLT All time 4 wheel drive. I Loved it when I first got it Then About A Year After Having it because it had been pre owned, the timing jumped about 100,000 miles. Now when this happened I was told go to the junk yard and find another motor. Well I went to the junk yard and out of every ford explorer there which by the way was like 15 of them there. Not one of them had a motor in it that had not jumped time. Now usually if u get lucky and these trucks jump a few teeth , u might be able to buy the timing kit and replace just those timing components and be ok, but alot of times what happens is when a tensioner that is mechanic fails the chains can no longer spin so the valves get stuck open in whatever position they are in and the pistons are still going up and down and collide with the valves. Causing unfixable damage to the pistons valves and in some cases completely destroying the motors. In my opinion the timing components should be recalled. Jus saying. Other than that and a few transmission problems truck is great
An exceptionally reliable car
This Eddie Bauer Model has all the bells and whistles that one could want. It is a clean body - no rust - and interior. I am only selling it because my wife bought me a new car - otherwise I would keep it.
