I have a 1997 Ford explorer sport and it is down for the second time with a timing chain problem. The first was when I bought the used vehicle in 1999 from a car lot in lynnwood, wa it had 49,000 miles on it and it need the timing chain assembly replaced. Now 4 years later it is sitting at a shop needing a second timing chain assembly replaced. It seems very odd that this would occur twice with a vehicle in its life time. The vehicle originated from canada in 1996, so I am not sure if it had the correct mileage when I purchased this vehicle. The bill is minimum $4500. 00 and the vehicle is only worth like $6000. 00 in working order. Very disappointed in Ford products, they are not built to last.
