One problem related to bumper has been reported for the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Both items happened right after my vechicle coverage ran out in oct. Of 2003,anyway 1st. The a/c recycling switch went bad at around 20,200 miles, now the passenger front lower ball joint is making a terrible noise , so I assume that thats on it`s way out,also I noticed that the rear bumper is on a downward position. To me I think this year`s production model stinks .
