Consumer Description

THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I5, ON THE GRAPEVINE IN CALIFORNIA AND IT TERRIFIED US. WE JUST MANAGED TO STOP . THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO TECHNICAL BULLETINS ON THIS, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES FOR US TO BELIEVE THIS. MY HUSBAND SHOWED THE DEALER THAT HE COULD MAKE IT HAPPEN EVEN WHEN IT WAS IN PARK BY MAKING THE ACCELORATOR INCREASE. WE HAD A PART REPLACED ONLY AFTER TAKING IT BACK TWICE AND NOW IT'S DOING IT AGAIN!! THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID THAT HE TOWED ANOTHER FOR (A TRUCK) THAT HAD THAT SAME PROBLEM. WE HAD THE EXPLORER TOWED THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED AND VALLEY FORD HAD IT FOR A WEEK AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM.*AK
