problem #1

Jun 142001

Explorer 4WD

  • miles
We towed a boat within the vehicle specs, which caused the leaf springs in the back to fail. Ford has to this point refused to acknowledge that there is anything wrong with the vehicle. The vehicle rides three inches lower in the rear than in the front.
