i have a 1999 ford explorer and the check engine keeps coming on. i had a tune up and still the lights comes on. i had them to say the spark plug was bad, may be a leak, gas filter and so on. now i think i want to do like others just let it stay on. the dealership in my area is so cunning its hard to say when they are telling the truth.

I've owned this car for 4 years and nearly the entire 4 years the Check Engine Light has been on. I've been told it's the O2 Sensors, the catalytic converter and a variety of other issues. I opt'd to do nothing and have put 50K miles on the car. I know a handleful of other folks who have the same issue with their Explorer.

My 1999 Ford Explorer has valves that are blown. I had another engine put in it and the catalytic converters replaces. The engine they replaced it with also has blown valves. I am out $1500 and my car is still barely drivable...Ford needs to address these issues with all the faulty parts on Ford Explorers and PAY to fix them NOW!!!
