I thought I would give everyone an update on the Ford Explorer. Because my mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle, my son drove it to work, about 20 miles out of town. And lo and behold, it wouldn't start on the return trip and he noticed gas dripping from the undercarriage. The next day he tried to start it again, sparks were flying out of the engine compartment. The vehicle is again towed and upon inspection all the wiring harnesses in the engine compartment are melted. The mechanics inspecting it were heard to say, that they 'have never seen anything like this, ever.' I think it's TOAST! My son told me he would never buy another Ford, and I can't really blame him. This vehicle went from suitable transportation to a pile of garbage in about 2 weeks. It's almost as if it had committed suicide.
