Consumer Description

1999 FORD EXPLORER-INTERMITTENT PROBLEM OF VEHICLE STALLING OUT AND CUTTING OFF AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AFTER TAKING FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. MOST SERIOUS WAS WHEN EXITING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED AND LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, AND THUS NEARLY LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PROBLEM WAS ULTIMATELY DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY IDLE CONTROL VALVE. BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT WHEN IT FIRST STARTED (NOVEMBER OF 2002), THE FORD DEALER COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT UNTIL THE VALVE FINALLY FAILED COMPLETELY (JULY OF 2003).*AK
