Consumer Description
2015 EXPLORER SPORT 3.5L V6 ECOBOOST, CAR SHUDDERS WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHILE BARELY TOUCH THE GAS. ENGINE MISFIRES, HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. FORD NOR DEALER WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SAYING ITS "NORMAL". PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT STILL NO RESOLUTION. HAS BEEN ON GOING FOR ABOUT A YEAR. AT ONE POINT THE CAR WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" AND WOULD ONLY ALLOW ME TO DRIVE 20 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE THE RPMS' WHERE MAXED OUT. THANKFULLY I WAS CLOSE TO A DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. SAID "PIPE HOSE CLAMP CAME LOSE". SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS ECOBOOST ENGINE. THERE HAVE BEEN LAWSUITES OVER IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, HAD SEVERAL TECHS, SUPERVISORS DRIVE IT AND NOTHING.
