A funny thing happened on the way to the...

dealership. The Ford did not always have issues. Though sometime around 2002 it gave me a sign of what was to come. The rear washer fluid was leaking into the interior. I decided to ignore it. A few years later the rear wiper no longer worked and soon began to loosen. The tires were recalled of course, due to the roll over scare. The transmission blew in 2006 and then the 4x4 sensors were replaced just a couple months ago. So Friday night as we drove to the Toyota dealer I was relieved and excited. We decided to take the Ford through the car wash. Just as we resurfaced from the wash bay I turned to see water gushing through the rear window and another surprise on the opposite side, where it was now leaking as well. The Explorer had it's last laugh.
