On 2 separate occasions the truck loses power while driving. this effects the engine, power steering basically anything that uses power. this has happened while driving 65mph and 35-40mph. one time it happened on a street, the other time was while driving on the highway. this is very dangerous.
Engine fail make noise
While driving in normal fashion in medium traffic engine all of a sudden died restarted after 5 minutes of attempts only to die again about 3 minutes later in middle of a turning lane. after being pushed to a parking lot it was discovered that head gasket was blown without any warning or signs. had to be towed over 100 miles to my home on a roll back truck paid by car insurance
My car started to leak coolant i've had to keep topping off coolant, took it to a ford dealership, stated it was my water pump which would cost about $2000 to fix. i am only at 108k miles & i was told by ford that they do not need maintencing and would last till 150,000 miles
When driving (various speeds high was 70 mph - low was 25 mph - various roadways) vehicle loses power goes down to about 5 miles per hour - check engine lights comes on-- message "see manual". happened intermittently for 5 months initially one time- may go a month before happens again . finally it started occurring 3 times within and hour then ok - did for that for two consecutive days before taking it to be fixed. called ford dealer they claimed they had heard of this - said it could be many things - i mentioned the reports of this on 2016 explored. took it to a local shop. replaced throttle body and throttle body gasket on 2 oct 2019- issue has not occurred since.
Vehicle's water pump began leaking during a normal patrol shift. we have had several of these fail at various mileages and each repair that was not under warranty has cost us around $2000.00 each time. i know these are not isolated incidents and that these water pumps fail often. i recall being at a fleet conference this past august and seeing a slide during a presentation from ford and it showing the casting difference between the old style and new style pump. the old casting was thinner near the seal area and that allowed for excessive heat which caused the seal to fail. the new style pump has a thicker casting to prevent this fault. i would like to see a warranty extension or recall on the these pumps just like ford ended up doing for the catalytic converters.
The engine began leaking coolant caused by the water pump seal failing. we have had several others that also have had water pump failures.

I have a 2013 ford explorer and have been recently experiencing random, dangerous stalls due to a faulty throttle body. i have had the throttle body cleaned twice and it continues to fail, leaving our car in a "limp-home mode" in dangerous road conditions. it usually stalls when accelerating from a low idle position, such as sitting at a stoplight and then accelerating. however, it had also stalled while traveling higher speeds and then accelerating. once i pull off the road, the car engine shakes violently until i'm able to put in park and then turn the ignition off. after a few seconds the engine will usually restart at normal idle and proper engine function is restored until the next throttle body failure.
Front manifold crack that is allowing exhaust fumes to enter the vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 ford explorer. while pulling into a parking space and making a right turn, the engine suddenly shut off. after restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. during the failure, the power steering suddenly became inoperable and the steering wheel was difficult to turn in either direction. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. the failure mileage was 56,000.
While driving, engine stalls, with inability to accelerate, requiring vehicle to be stopped, turned off and restarted. a check engine light then appeared, which after taking vehicle to local dealership was determined to be a faulty throttle body which i was told has been common in ford vehicles/makes/models
Vehicle experiencing intermittent engine shut off under all driving conditons which exhibits a serious and dangerous situation when the vehicle abrubtly loses total power while driving. this has recently been an issue in the past two weeks while my wife and kids were driving on the freeway at 70 mph in traffic. vehicle started back up once the ignition was turned completely off and waited a few minutes to start the vehicle back up. this scenario occurred on the freeway, in town driving and while stopped at traffic light. contacted local ford dealership and all they said was to bring it in. i had a mechanic check it out and he was unable to retrieve any engine codes while running an ecu scan. there are several complaints noted online with other ford explorer owners who have attributed it to a "terrain management" fault. this is the same diagnosis my local mechanic came up with. this results in the engine control module to receive a throttle position in the wide open indication causing the vehicle to shut off. the vehicle is currently being operated in oahu, hawaii. i am currently deployed to the middle east so i am very ...
We have noticed a car exhaust odor in our vehicle while at a standstill. the odor comes and goes and we are not sure what is causing it. it seems that car exhaust is coming into the vehicle through the car's ventilation system. the dealer ship could not find the issue. the vehicle did have the ford carbon monoxide customer satisfaction program completed.
