Consumer Description

THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 25 MPH TO 55 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND STEERING AT THESE HIGHER SPEEDS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IN CLOSE TRAFFIC. AFTER COASTING TO A STOP THE CAR RESTARTS EASILY. THIS STALLING OCCURS WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND OFF AND DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FACTOR. WEATHER IN ALL CASES WAS DRY AND WARM. THE STALLING HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES ,WEEKS AND MONTHS APART. TWO FORD DEALERS HAVE LOOKED AT THE CAR BUT CANNOT FIND A COMPUTER CODE PROBLEM, THEY ALSO HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM THUS THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM. A WEB SEARCH DIVULGES THAT OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM TO FORD FOR THE 2002,2004 AND 2005 EXPLORER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED! *TR
