Writing this review to shed light on the problems I’ve

Writing this review to shed light on the problems I’ve experienced with this car as I couldn’t find any negative reviews prior to purchasing mine. I was the second owner of this car with 80,000 miles on it, no accidents, and clean title. First the harmonic balancer snapped off, then weird codes would pop up and the car would shut off while driving. It would also lost power sometimes when at higher elevations and not shift properly. The PCM had to be replaced but it was on back order for months, then the radiator broke and the transmission broke.

Explorer = reliable

I`ve owned several explorers through the years and put countless trouble free miles on them. The v8 equiped versions are my favorite makes merging into traffic a breeze. I found this one with only 77k miles on it and couldn`t pass it up.
