The vehicle began to overheat when driving at an incline. as soon as the vehicle was level there were no overheating issues. i took the vehicle to the dealership and was advised that the vehicle was overheating due to the grill shutters being stuck closed and as a result the transmission was failing and needed a partial rebuild. the vehicle was still eligible for certain repairs under the warranty, mileage 58,120, so ford covered the partial transmission rebuild as they determined was fit. the grill shutters malfunctioning and being stuck closed were not covered under warranty but the malfunction was a major contributing factor to the transmission failure and overheating of the vehicle. repairs were completed in may 2019. in november 2019 and approx. 2k miles out of warranty and just slightly 2k more miles since the transmission rebuild and grill shutter replacement, the vehicle began to overheat again. the overheating would occur consistently when sitting idle or in motion on streets and on highways. the vehicle was taken to the ford dealership again for diagnosis. it was determined that the head gasket was blown which was causing the vehicle to overheat. ford advised that due to the grill shutters ...

About two months ago my car started shuttering and was very jumpy. i took it into the dealership and they had to rebuild the entire transmission. two weeks after that, while driving on the highway, my a/c stoping blowing out cold air and was only blowing out hot air. took it back to the dealership and the said the air compressor seized, and they hadd to replace that along with all the lines that goes to it. two weeks after that,, i started to notice my car would shudder when in reverse. took it into the dealership, and they told me 'internal engine failure'. when i read the diagnostic report (because the service rep wouldn't explain it to me)...it stated that there was coolant found in one of the cylinders in the engine....meaning my coolant was leaking into the engine. if i continue to drive it, my vehicle will overheat.
The factory battery ruptured and spewed battery acid in engine compartment.
As i was driving my 2016 ford explorer on the highway on 08/01/2019 i experienced the vehicle start to stutter just before i was going on to the on ramp merging on the highway and after i was on the high way the vehicle started smoking from under the hood and would no longer accelerate and i could smell oil burning and pulled over and shut the car off looked under the car and saw the pile of oil underneath but the vehicle did not have the any check engine light or warnings once we towed the vehicle home i looked under the car and saw that the transmission casing was cracked pretty much in half i could actually see the gears inside the casing of the transmission i also rememberd in the past year or so the vehicle would shift very hard after braking and then getting back on the gas it happened every once in a while .
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 ...
2016 ford explorer - the backup camera will come on while traveling down the highway at 55-60 mph. will cause it to loose power, the rpm's drop right below 1000, the wrench symbol comes on, and it will barely move down the road. a screen will pop up on occasion saying hill assist is unavailable. you have to pullover, turn the car off, open the driver door to make sure the radio and all goes off, wait exactly one minute, and then you are able to crank the vehicle up to be able to move. i have taken to dealership, and all they say is it's a sensor inside the transmission, and all they can do is clear the code out. they say that it is saying my vehicle is trying to engage in reverse while going down the road. this sounds like a huge safety issue especially when i have had others say the same thing has happened to them as well. i have reached out to the dealership in regards to my warranty, but i have yet to hear back from them, and it has been over 2 weeks. i have ...

I was driving along at about 55 mph with the cruise control activated. the pedals were not in the right locations so i decided to adjust them to a higher position with the button on the side of the steering column. when i did the adjustment, the engine went into a full throttle mode and would not let up. i pushed down on the brakes hard and vehicle slowed down and the engine returned to normal. when i took my foot off the brake the engine immediately went full throttle again and then back down again when i pushed the brake pedal down hard. this cycle continued even though i shut off the cruise control and tried putting the shifter in neutral. i was final able to pull over to the side of the road and shut the engine off. i restarted the engine after a few minutes and everything seemed to work normally. this was a very dangerous and scary event. i am afraid to drive this vehicle or have my wife drive it. i reported it to ford but have not heard back from them at this time.
