Explorer 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,500 miles
Defective 2002 Ford Explorer front stabilizer bar - since I have purchased this vehicle, the front stabilizer bar has been replaced twice, first on 4/15/02, and again on 5/6/03. I have noticed that NHTSA has asked Ford to recall earlier models of this vehicle for this same defect, and I am concerned this could be a safety issue, although the servicing dealer has not indicated it could be.
