I am very quick to give a bad review if I think it is
I am very quick to give a bad review if I think it is warranted but I am also quick to give a good one when warranted. Today 3/9 the shop worked on a recall plus other problems, I would like to thank everyone who worked on my car from checking in to getting my car back,, when it was given back to me it looked like a new car which had been fixed, not only cleaned outside but vac'd as well, this was a nice surprise and again thankyou to everyone who had anything to do with my MKX today. Today was an excellent experience.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver.
Bought this car in 2019 as my daily driver. It has enough space to transport my large and was very reliable until about 160,000 miles. Gasket seal and O2 sensors failed causing me $800 in repairs. Not super expensive, but like the previous review says check to see if there are any open recalls. Currently at 230,000 miles and still driving. If you follow the suggested maintenance schedule you'll be fine. If not, you'll be in for some trouble.

I want to recognize Juan R for the excellent service he
I want to recognize Juan R for the excellent service he provided as my service advisor. He made the entire process easy to navigate and kept me informed throughout the experience. His professionalism and willingness to help made a big difference. Juan also ensured that my vehicle was serviced and the issue resolved earlier than the original time estimate I was given. That level of efficiency and customer care is greatly appreciated. Juan is truly an asset to the team and made this a very positive experience.
Transmission problem
I have owned Toyota and Honda vehicles for years. I love the space and comfort of my Ford Explorer. However I'm at 68k miles and just had to have my transmission rebuilt. If I didn't love the comfort and ride of this vehicle so much, I would trade it in tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed and praying this vehicle will hold out to 200k miles.

The dealer was very nice, funny, he gave options.
The dealer was very nice, funny, he gave options. Also, I respected the fact he wasn’t in rush or rushing me.
Explorers are great
I have had several Explorers all have been great vehicles. My newest is only a couple years old. I also still have a great running 26 year old with almost 200k miles. Never had a big or expensive problem with either. I can say the same for the BMWs, Mercedes and Infinity’s I have owned…Once these expensive vehicles warranty expired everything but their engine seemed to fall apart. My Fords are reliable and never break down (knock on wood) Not flashy like the imports but solid.

For years, I carried the weight of a low credit score
For years, I carried the weight of a low credit score like a shadow I couldn’t shake. It wasn’t just numbers on a screen, it meant constant denials: rejected for a simple car loan when my old one broke down, turned away from better housing, even passed over for promotions at work because they ran background checks that included credit history. The negatives piled up old medical bills in collections, a couple of missed payments from tough times, inquiries I didn’t even remember. I felt trapped, like my past mistakes were deciding my future. A friend pulled me aside one evening and said, “There’s this company called SafePort Credit Specialists that’s actually making real moves for people like us.” He showed me his own report: clean, high 700s after working with them, I was skeptical. I've heard promises before but something in his calm confidence made me reach out. What stood out immediately was how they didn’t rush or overpromise. They reviewed everything carefully, explained what could realistically be challenged under the rules, and went to work methodically. No magic, just persistent, professional disputes targeting every inaccurate or outdated item across all three bureaus. They communicated regularly, shared updates, and answered my questions without making me feel small for asking. Day by Day, things shifted. Old collections vanished. Late payments dropped off. Inquiries faded where they shouldn’t have lingered. My score started climbing slowly at first, then faster. When it finally hit 810, I sat there staring at the screen, almost not believing it. But the real change? Being able to breathe. Getting approved for things without begging. Planning for my family without that constant fear holding me back. If you’re in that same dark place, low score, negatives everywhere, feeling like doors are slamming shut, consider giving SafePort Credit Specialists a serious look. They helped me reclaim control, and I’ve already quietly referred two close friends who are seeing similar results. Sometimes the fix isn’t flashy; it’s just thorough and honest. Grateful every day. You can contact them via email at: SAFEPORTCREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM
