Consumer Description

MOST OF THE TIME, MY 2006 FORD EXPLORER V8 WILL JERK FORWARD VERY HARD WHEN STOPPING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I APPROACH STOPS SIGNS OR STOP LIGHTS. IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN REAR-ENDED BECAUSE OF HOW HARD THE JOLT IS. THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE OR CRASH INTO A WALL IF PARKING INSIDE A STRUCTURE. THE VEHICLE ALSO SOMETIMES JERKS VERY HARD FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. *TR AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT, AND APPARENTLY HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. *TR
