Hello. I was just surfing around and came across your page. My wife and i have just 
purchased a 2002 Ford Explorer XLT. It is a used model. We previously owned and 
traded in a 1998 explorer xlt. We owned that for 3 years. It is amazing. We got the 
car this past Sunday 10/17/04 and are already noticing a few problems which i find 
a bit alarming. Here are some of the problems we noticed;

1. ABS brake indicator stays lit during driving. I looked in the service manual. Possible 
bad sensor it says. Service needed.
2. Seat belts are loose when driving. There is no restraint when you stop short. We 
even tried jerking ourselves forward and nothing happened.
3. Check engine light periodically comes on. (My wife says she saw this happen. I 
have yet to see this one.)

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. We will be going back to the dealer this 
Thursday 10/21/04. Please respond back ASAP. Respectfully, D.
