Consumer Description

MY 2004 FORD EXPLORER HAS BEEN KILLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP, SLOWING DOWN AND WHEN I AM DRIVING AT SPEEDS UP TO 40MPH. MY POWER STEERING THEN GOES. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. IT IS OCCURRING DAILY AND I THEN HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, REMOVE THE KEY AND THEN RESTART. WHEN I DO THAT, IT RUNS LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ECT... I HAVE BEEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS FROM DAY ONE. AT FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT DOES NOT FAIL WHEN I BRING IT IN IT WILL BE HARD TO SAY WHAT IT IS. THEN I CALLED BACK BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK IN THURS. THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT ALL DAY AND SAID IT WAS READY TO GO. I DROVE 1/2 MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND THE TRUCK KILLED. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THEM BACK TO LET THEM KNOW. I WILL BE BRINGING IT BACK NEXT WEEK. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS FAILURE AND I FEEL THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE FORD. *TR
