AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WAY THIS CAR WAS DRIVING MY CAR FINALLY FAILED ON AND COMPLETELY SHIFT ITSELF OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. I COULD NOT STEER OR ACCELERATE. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY FINALLY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY STICKING AND REPLACED IT. LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. MY PRIOR VISITS I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED AND THAT MAYBE THE GAS I WAS PUTTING INTO THE CAR HAD TO MUCH ETHANOL. *TR
OWN 2012 FORD EXPLORER,BOUGHT NEW AND A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR WAS THAT IT HAD TOW PKG. ON IT. HAD OCCASION TO USE THE TOW AND CHECKED LOCAL U-HAUL AND THEY REFUSED TO RENT A TRAILER TO ME. WAS TOLD CO. POLICY FORBID RENTAL TO ANYONE DRIVING AN EXPLORER. I WAS TOTALLY SPEECHLESS AND EVEN CALLED TWO OTHER RENTALS AND WAS REFUSED. SAID TOO MANY ACCIDENTS WITH SWAY AND ROLL-OVER. AFTER RESEARCH ON LINE I HAVE FOUND IT IS TRUE..SO NOW I OWN A VEHICLE WITH TOW ON IT,AND UNLESS I AM WILLING TO SPEND SEVERAL THOUSAND TO BUY MY OWN TRAILER, IT IS TOTALLY USELESS!WONDERING HOW FORD MOTORS IS ALLOWED TO SELL THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED THEM AND GOT NOWHERE. SO GUESS I'M STUCK,HOWEVER, COME NEW VEHICLE TIME THERE WILL NOT BE AN EXPLORER IN MY DRIVE. SHAME ON YOU FORD. *TR
