well the way i see it, it was partially ford and partially the owners or the cars falt. ok first, those idiots that fliped them was cause they didnt keep enough pressure in the tires. then when they did blow out it fliped over? it sounds like thats cause its top heavy. ive riden and driven quite a few explorers and let me tell you, it would be about my last choice for an suv. but thats in the past, and it was fixed, my mom had one at the time and they replaced the firestones with michilins for free.
