NHTSA Complaint #10273728 — 2006 FORD EXPLORER

I HAVE A 2006 EXPLORER V-6 EDDIE BAUER. MY VEHICLE HAS 35,302 MILES. I WAS OUT RUNNING ERRANDS ON A SATURDAY MORNING WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THEN WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED JERKING AS THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THEN AS I BEGAN TO DRIVE (AFTER THE RED LIGHT) I NOTICED THE RPM'S JUST SEEMING TO GO UP AND DOWN AS I WAS DRIVING. I HAD ABOUT 5 MORE TIMES THAT I NEEDED TO STOP (STOP SIGNS) MY VEHICLE BEFORE I GOT HOME AND IT CONTINUED TO JERK AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE AT ALL DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR FIRST JERKED WHEN I WENT TO STOP THE WRENCH ILLUMINATED STATING POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. I STARTED DOING RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND I HAVE FOUND HUNDRED OF THE SAME OR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. WHY HAS FORD NOT LOOKED INTO THIS PROBLEM, COME UP WITH A SOLUTION AND ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
