NHTSA Complaint #10891892 — 2016 FORD EXPLORER

I HAVE TO MAJOR COMPLAINTS WITH THE FORD EXPLORER 2016. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE FIRST OCCURRED WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ABOUT 7:30AM. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES PER ON HOUR ON A CITY STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN A WRENCH SYMBOL SHOWS AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE. I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS SYMBOL BEFORE SO I WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND COULD NOT FIND IT IN THE MANUAL. BEFORE THIS I ONLY COULD GO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR MAX SPEED. WHEN I GOOGLED THE WRENCH MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I AM SURE FORD IS AWARE OF THIS AND SHOULD HAD SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE WE PURCHASED IT. I HAD TO END UP LEAVING THE EXPLORER UP AT FORD FOR 2 AND A HALF WEEKS. WHEN I GOOGLED THE ISSUE IT SAID THESE EXPLORERS HAVE A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED AND MY VEHICLE WAS NO DIFFERENT. ME AND MY WIFE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS A KNOWN ISSUE. SECONDLY, ONCE WE HIT ABOUT 8,000 MILES THE HOOD MAKES A LOUD BUZZING/HUMMING SOUND ONCE YOU HIT ABOUT 60 MILES PER HOUR THAT DOES NOT STOP!!! MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ONCE I GOOGLED THIS! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND NOT SOLD! OUR ENTIRE TRIP THIS VEHICLE MADE THE SOUND NONSTOP. A PERSON SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HEAR THIS THE ENTIRE TIME ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT YOU MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. SINCE FORD DOES NOT WANT TO VOLUNTARILY ISSUE A RECALL LIKE THEY SHOULD, AN INVOLUNTARY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. WHEN I GOOGLED THIS, IT IS SAID THAT THE SOUND COMES FROM THE THIN PART OF THE HOOD IN THE CENTER THAT IS BETWEEN TWO THICKER PIECES THAT CAUSES IT TO VIBRATE. HORRIBLE DESIGN AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED BETTER.
