 i was driving Japanese Four wheel drives.when i decided to buy an american car, i bought FORD EXPLORER 2007.immediately after 100,000 kms it started giving problems.first with the air conditioning system and had to replace the evaporator.at 115,000kms some cable system had to be replaced.then started the gear to slip and had to get it repaired.now again the air condition system started giving problems.the repairs are so expensive that i had already spent Dhs. 25,000/= on these repairs.am not at all happy with the vehicle.and shall never purchase any american vehicles.
