Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 FORD EXPLORER THAT HAS A SEVERE ACCELERATION HESITATION PROBLEM. I'VE TAKEN TO DEALERS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT'S A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I WOULD LIKE FORD TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE IN FIXING THE PROBLEMS AS IT NOW APPEARS MANY VEHICLES OF SAME MAKE ARE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE SINCE I PURCHASED THE NEW EXPLORER IN FALL OF 2005. NM
