“I have a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport with 24,040 miles on it. I am scheduled for a third break job on this SUV. I personally think it is crazy that a vehicle with that low of mileage has this many problems. I am taking the car to a private mechanic to hopefully remedy the problem. The other two services were performed by Ford dealerships.”
