03/07/08 2.00 Headlights Worthless, Transmission rotted out at 95,000 miles and not driven off road, Extremely poor ride, Very noisy ride, Radio works only when IT wants to due to a short no one can find and audio is horrendous when it does work with a Factory Premium Sound System. Hate to hear non-premium. Rear suspension totally shot at 90,000 miles, Extremely poor mpg. Maybe between 11-12 mpg and well maintained. Adjustable lumbar support on drivers seat is broken. Many things to mention. Overall, a very poorly manufactured vehicle.

11/28/06 5.00 I have 140,000M with no major problems. The most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
1998 Valerie F. NORTH LAS VEGAS
NV
05/30/06 4.00 Wiring issues. In the past trouble with windows not working, door locks, alarm and even brake lights. All have been repaired by Ford Dealerships and all were caused by faulty wiring. Waranty companies worthless and kept insisting that there was physical damage to vehicle when it has never been in an accident. Face plate on radio keeps going out. I have owned this vehicle for 6 years and have recently had the radio replace for the 3rd time.
1998 Tony V. TORRANCE
CA
06/29/04 3.00 Problem with 4WD drive train. Malfunctioning transfer case solenoid, replaced twice. Malfunction causing 4WD to self engage while transmission is in drive. Problem still persists however on an intermittent basis.
