With no warning - experienced sudden loss of power while driving. engine light came on. also the wrench light came on with a message that said "see manual." i was able to get out of traffice and pull over. after ten minutes, i restarted the car. the car started back up with no problem and the engine light was back off. from there it drove beautifully like it never happened - except that it did ! four days later, i take it to the dealorship. they determined that this happened due to a defective throttle body. i have to have it replaced and it's going to cost me $380. i find it hard to believe that with the significant number of complaints on this issue all over the internet that they didn't know about this at the dealorship when they sold me the car. and also that ford has not recalled this yet considering the number of complaints. i have to have this fixed, i have no choice. i would definitly like to reumbersed for this repair. but in addition to the out of pocket cost, the power going out on ...

During acceleration, a brief pause in acceleration or down shifting of gears. feels like the transmission is slipping. usually noticed during 30 minutes of normal driving conditions.
On a city street experience loss of accelerating power while coming to stop and crossing an intersection the vehicle will star at a snail pace bringing up the speed to 40 mph on limp mode since the vehicle service wrench tool and air bag light up on the dash board vehicle will not respond pushing down on the gas pedal.
It jolts, lunges, transmission doesn't engage and slams into gear hard it makes you feel you got rear ended with a big bank. slow to accelerate and when it finally does it lunges
2016 ford explorer accelerates while driving. my vehicle has been in and out of dealership since 12/26/17. i am currently in a loaner vehicle. receive update first week of feb 2018 that the transmission dept was behind and that they will let me know as soon as possible if i need a new transmission.
When driving especially on freeway, the vehicle starts to stall and takes time to find the speed. it's come close to accidents as i've tried to get over in time when merging. has happened so far more than 5 times. sometime it happens as soon as you enter the freeway.
Travelling at 70 mph my vehicle's rpms dropped to 500 - 1000, the accelerator became unresponsive, and i was forced to pull over to the side of the road. in speaking with the mechanics at the ford dealership, the cause of the issue was a failure of the electronic throttle body (etb). my car was just over the 36,000 mile warranty, and although there was a customer satisfaction bulletin issued, my vin number was not included. there is also an active class action law suit for the same issue in previous model years, not including 2016. i spoke directly with ford via a phone call, who apologized and said there was nothing they could do to compensate me for the expense. there is obviously a very dangerous situation, and put my family in danger. in my opinion, ford is not backing their products for what is a very serious safety issue.
While driving @ 50mph on a multi lane road, engine immediately went to idle and the gas pedal was inoperative. lost all power and vehicle came to a coasting stop. fortunately there was an exit nearby and was able to get the vehicle off the main road. tried to restart the vehicle but no effect. had vehicle towed to dealer and they replaced the throttle body assembly. fortunately this did not happen during rush hour as this could have been a very dangerous situation. after searching the internet, this appears to be a systematic problem with ford. just wanted to go on record that i also had this problem. vehicle has 11k miles.
While driving with children present the car suddenly lost power and my wife could not accelerate. she had to drift over to the side of the road. the "wrench" light and check engine light came on the dash. after stopping the car and restarting she was able to get home but the car has almost no acceleration and kept shuddering. fortunately the roads were quite and there was no damage or injury. if she was on a busy road or highway it would have been very dangerous. car has around 7000 miles on the clock. *tr
