Re: 2017 ford explorer. car dying out on acceleration from a stop. a scary thing happened on rt #619 today in hartville. that is, the car died out halfway out onto the roadway, it pauses for some seconds where the accelerator does nothing. then it picks up by itself. the throttle does nothing. none of these actions are desirable. these behaviors put us in great danger. so let's see, this happened twice in the morning i brought it to the dealership (monday 01-06-2020). and, it happened once the 2nd day back to me on friday 01-31-2019. but it did not happen for you in the 4 weeks you had it to test. amazing isn't it? well, i think i'm going to go along with the many other people online that report the identical problem that i experience. in my car, it's been a problem since new. i do believe ford is well aware of this problem. i also believe they're not going to do anything to correct it until they're made to. when i asked the service manager, he said to me: "ford told us ...
2013 ford explorer limited 4wd 3.5l became undriveable in a matter of 4 days. it started as a squeal as i accelerated from a stop and quickly escalated to lurching, pulsating and bumping at all speeds. mechanic initially thought it was a caliper that was locked up but when i brought it back 2 days later after the problem persisted and worsened he realized that the transfer case was faulty. he noted that ford is notorious for faulty transfer cases and horrible warranties that end before the parts go. i'm told that my vehicle could lock up at any moment and cause me to not be able to react putting my families safety and those around me in danger. help please! i'm told this is a common issue and not isolated to my vehicle. multiple phone calls to ford have me on hold for 15+ minutes with no sound and then phone call ends without the chance to talk to a representative. my vehicle had roughly 94,000 miles at the time. repair cost was estimated between $3,000 - $5,000.
Our 2016 ford explorer sport lost power going up a slight hill right before our house and barely made it home. we immediately called the dealership and arranged to bring it the following morning. the drivetrain is under warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles. our vehicle is 4 years old with slightly over 60,000 miles and we also purchased the additional warranty for 100,000 miles. we have been told by the dealership that we will be responsible to pay for the labor of a transmission tear down which takes 18 hrs and $2,000 in labor before we can find out if the warranty will cover the issue. we have also had issues with the heated/cooled seats, the air bags, the parking assist, and steering. we did not spend all this money for a newer vehicle(was 2 yrs old when purchased) just to have several issues that will end up costing us a ridiculous amount of money. this is our family vehicle that we drive our 3 kids around in. we spent the extra money to have something reliable and safe that we wouldn't have to sink money into repairs and also purchased the additional warranty to not have to ...
We bought the car on 9/21/19 from upland ford. we had an issue where the infotainment screen blacked out, but thankfully, after letting the car sit for an hour, all is working fine on that matter. however, very early on, we noticed rough shifts, and other red flags, coming from the drivetrain. if i had to guess, we noticed it before 3k miles. took it to vista ford in oxnard on 1/04/2020 (odo: 4960), where they diagnosed the transmission oil cooler. while they replaced the cooler, there are still signs of the issues... especially in the lower gears. i have concerns about damage to the transmission. the car has 6200 miles on it, as of today, 2/13. i also have an issue of the car not shifting into reverse, until after a long delay, and with some jerking. this issue has been there rom the very beginning. as a tall man (6-foot4, with 36-inch inseam), i have growing concerns about how uncomfortable it is for me to drive this car. these problems on a brand new car, from a brand like ford, are disappointing and unacceptable.
Popping noises from front pto . pto case split in half driving down the road with my kids in the car causing vehicle front tires to skid for a split 2nd and differential fluid spilling all over the under carriage causing smoke.
Received a message on my dashboard " power assist fault", the steering was stiff and could not turn. turn off the car for 10 minutes and the steering was functioning ok. later in the afternoon, i was about to hit the gas pump as my steering went stiff again. now am scared that this may cause accident
My car began lurching when i was driving and began leaking oil. when i took it in, i found out the pto needed repaired. the transfer case was filled with metal and covered in metal shards. mechanic said the car wasn't driveable and would be dangerous to have on the road.
