My 4 year old Ford Explorer has a cracked body panel below the rear window and needs to have the rear differential worked on after 60,000 miles.
The dealer said both are common problems, but they don’t affect safety so there is no recall.
I’ll consider buying a Ford again in, say, 2030.
If they are still in business.
At that time, odds are good my 2008 Toyota Corolla will still be running...
My Dodge Grand Caravan, circa 1988 has just passed the 260,000 mile mark and still running strong. In 20 years it’s had a total of $2,600 of repairs excluding brakes, tires, and routine maint. I’m thinking of getting it repainted and fit with a DVD player and club seating. It will cost me around $800.
A Ford engine blew on a family member’s Windstar minivan after 50k miles and had to be completely replaced. The service guys install the new engine (received that day from Ford) and realize it has a giant crack through it. High quality operation they run...
Yes, but I bought a really cheap 04 Explorer w/90k miles for 4K. I'll deal with the problems. I like it. (dark cloud, silver lining) ps, I never buy new.
