2003 Ford Explorer

During the years that my warranty was in effect, the car worked great. Now that the car is over 5 years old, it seems something new breaks just about every 3 months. So far I've made multiple repairs to the transmission, electrical system, breaks, doors and gear shift. In today's economic times, I'm not convinced I should buy another car just yet. But I must admit, I'm not excited to spend the additional dollars repeatedly fixing items every few months.
