NHTSA Complaint #10227677 — 2004 FORD EXPLORER

THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM, OUR FORD EXPLORER HAS TROUBLE WITH THE LINKAGE TO THE CARBURETOR, THE FIRST TIME WE HAD PROBLEM WITH THE EXPLORER WAS OCT OF 04. BICKFORD FORD IN SNOHOMISH WA. TRIED TO REPAIR IT. THEN THERE WAS TWO TIMES BICKFORD TRIED TO FIX IT, THE LAST TIME WE TALKED TO BICKFORD THEY SAID THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT FORD MOTOR CO. DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT EITHER. WE ALSO TUCK IT TO ANOTHER AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX IT EITHER. WE HAVE NO CHOSE BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT , BUT WE ARE ALSO AFRAID IT COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS , WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED OR JUST STARTING OUT AND GIVE GAS IT DOSE NOT START TO GO SO YOU GIVE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE GAS AND THEN IT WILL JUMP FORWARD OR BACKWARD( IF YOU ARE BACKING UP) TO APPOINT THAT IT WILL SOME TIMES SQUEAL THE TIRES. IT ALL SO STALLS WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO TURN A CORNER. THAT IS ALSO DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR IT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. *TR
