Consumer Description

EXPLORER ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER COMBINATION OF 1) DRIVING ON HIGHWAY FOR APPROX. 1 HR AND 2) HAVE TO CLIMB A LARGE HILL...APPROX. 5 MILES AT 60 MPH. TRUCK STUTTERS AND BUCKS WHILE CRUISING AT 55-66MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENS. TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED APPROX. 10 TIMES. I HAVE ALL DOCUMENTATION FOR TRYING TO RESOLVE PROBLEM. TRUCK HAS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY DURING ONE OF THESE EPISODES LOSING POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKING. AS A PARENT OF TWO SMALL CHILDREN I'M EVEN MORE CONCERNED. DEALERSHIP TRIED REPLACING FUEL PUMP(2X), TP SENSOR, POTENTIOMETER WITH NO FIX. DEALERSHIP SAID IT COULD BE OXYGEN SENSOR, MASS/MAP SENSOR, THROTTLE CONTROL AT ONE POINT BUT LATER CHANGED MIND. I KNOW OF ONE OTHER EXPLORER WITH SIMILAR PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS ADDS TO YOUR LIST. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION.
