Consumer Description

I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL "NO STARTS" WITH MY VEHICLE. I WAS INFORMED BY A FIRESTONE DEALER WHEN I HAD MY TIRES REPLACED THAT HE HAS WITNESS SIMILIAR INCIDENTS WITH OTHER FORD EXPLORER'S. THE FIRESTONE DEALER STATED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM IN THE FUEL DELIVERY OR IGNITION SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO FLOOD ITSELF AT TIMES WHEN THE IGNITION KEY IS TURNED. I AM VERY CONCERNED IF THIS IS THE CASE. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HAS MADE THREE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY IN ARBITRATION. I KNOW ONE OTHER PERSON WHO PURCHASED A 2000 FORD EXPLORER FROM THE SAME DEALER AND HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING HIS FUEL PUMP AS THEY HAVE DONE IN MY VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THIS DID NOT CORRECT MY PROBLEM.
