Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD ATLEAST 5 INSTANCES IN THE YEAR THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE. THE EXPLORER LITERALLY LEAVES THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF YOU ENCOUNTER ROADBUMPS. CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST IN THIS FRIGHTENING INSTANCE AS THE VEHICLE CAN "BOUNCE" AND LOSE ITS TRACTION ON THE ROADWAY. THE FIRST EPISODE I REMEMBER WAS SOON AFTER LEASING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *AK
