The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ... 

Daily driver condition, well maintained, drives and runs perfect.  Almost everything works perfectly, its easier to list the things that don't.  The backup light switch has got a problem, it shorts out the fuse when you put it in reverse and that fuse also controls the turn signals so the backup light switch has been disconnected for a couple of years.  I'm sure a junkyard would yield a replacement but I haven't bothered.  The transfer case indicator lights aren't working, it shows when you're in 4X4 mode but not the individual 4H, 4L lights.  They were working until I replaced the transfer case so I suspect the new case internal switch isn't quite right.  Odometer currently shows 4032 miles, clearly the real mileage is in excess of its mechanical limit.


Transmission was rebuilt approximately 50K miles ago, the aforementioned transfer case about the same time.  All of the suspension bushings have been replaced with urethane so everything articulates great.  Shocks are James Duff, about 40K on them.  Door handles shaved, two key fobs included that pop the doors, works perfectly and been very reliable, back lift gate still has key hole and handle.  Interior was redone a few years back in the original color scheme but in vinyl instead of the original cloth, carpet replaced at the same time.  Engine starts, runs great, gets about 20 MPG around town and out on the freeway, passes emissions inspection easily if needed (not anymore in Texas, its over 25 years old).  Front brake calipers replaced about 10K miles ago, radiator about 30K miles ago, e-brake cables about 40K miles ago.  Tires are getting close to the wear bars, if I were keeping it I'd be considering new pretty soon.  All the lenses, taillights, headlights, turn signal indicators were replaced so they are all in perfect condition.  Window glass is all in perfect condition, no chips anywhere.  I daily drove it for many years and maintained it as such, I wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Weak spot is some rust.  Pictures show the worst spots, nothing structural.

Buyer MUST pick up the vehicle by June 10th or earlier.  I reserve the right to end the auction early.

NHTSA opens investigation into Ford Explorer PI brakes

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

This year more than most, it's pleasant when we can string together a few days without word of an automaker or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announcing a bunch of new recalls. It's seemingly been a little quiet on this front lately (barring a spider-related Suzuki issue revealed early today), but now we have word of the government safety agency opening a Preliminary Evaluation into the 2013 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor, a probe that could potentially affect an estimated 20,000 vehicles.
The issue being investigated concerns failures of the front brake hose on the vehicle that show "small splits in the hoses near the body side ferrule of the hose assembly," according to the agency, and the issue could result in longer stopping distances. The feds have reports of 13 malfunctions affecting 11 Explorer units. However, it's important to note that all of the incidents come from a single, unnamed metropolitan police fleet that operates 46 of them. According to The Detroit News, the failures generally took place between December and July.
NHTSA is investigating further to find if this is a more widespread issue than just this one fleet. Ford spokesperson Kelli Felker confirmed to us, "We are cooperating with NHTSA on this investigation, as we always do." Scroll down to read the agency's report.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.

Volvo to shake off Ford ties with new platforms, engines

Sat, 23 Feb 2013


It would seem Volvo is finally getting around to throwing all of Ford's things out of the apartment. Automotive News reports the Swedish automaker is preparing to unleash a range of new engines as well as a fresh platform designed entirely in house. The powerplants include an all-new four-cylinder engine set to bow before the end of this year before arriving in the US by 2014. Shortly thereafter, the world should get its first glimpse at the next-generation XC60, which will the company's first model to make use of the Volvo scalable platform architecture (SPA). US buyers can expect to see that machine on their roads by early 2015.
The next V70 and S80 will also use the SPA, though those models will carry V90 and S90 designations when they hit dealer floors. But that doesn't mean Volvo has completely weened itself off of Ford technology. The V40 will continue to ride on Ford bones until the model's next chassis can be co-developed between Volvo and Geely.
