Pero según dos quejas de propietarios de vehículos, sus SUV se comportaron de forma errática después de la reparación.En uno de esos casos, según los informes, el Explorer se detendría por completo a velocidades de hasta 30 o 40 millas por hora.

Tom Selleck was their first choice but when he couldn’t be released from his “Magnum P.I.” TV series, the role went to Ford who had shot to stardom as Han Solo in Lucas’ “Star War.”“Raiders” charts a 1936 quest for a mythological ancient artifact, the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, which supposedly is able to make the army that possesses it invincible. That’s Germany’s nasty Nazis, who in “Destiny” are back in a big, big way.It’s 1945 Germany...
