general problems of the 1998 Ford Explorer

I was driving my truck and one day it started acting weird. My stereo started shutting off and coming in by itself. A couple days later I was driving and my stereo and information center went out and came back on. My truck will only go about 30mps cause it won't shift either. Couple days ago it started back firing. What could be the problem.

Tl- the contact owns a 1998 Ford Explorer. The stated the vehicle felt as though it would tip over and sways when driving approximately from 70-75mph. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the techician diagnoised the issue as an suspension malfunction. The vehice was repaired however the problem has recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 123,000. Kh.

While traveling on highway without prior warning vehicle wandered from lane to lane.

When brakes are applied their is a loud noise from front end of vehicle, and underneath of vehicle vibrates. Contacted dealer.

While driving 35-40 mph it started to snow rear of vehicle twisted a bit, then started to spin sideways. Vehicle rolled over, and landed on passenger's side. Driver's rear tire was flat. Damage to vehicle was $ 5000. 00. No injuries.

Vehicle is leaning to right. Took vehicle to dealer numerous times. Vehicle bounces and rocks to left and right as well. Dealer cannot remedy.

While driving 50-55 mph vehicle started spinning and started to roll. Consumer had been driving on a straight part of highway, damage to vehicle unknown at this time.

Consumer had recalled (00t005) firestone wilderness at tires replaced with dunlop, however after the replacement tires were on the vehicle it vibrated and shook badly, after the tires have been balanced 4 times, the vibration and shaking still exists, this problem could be a suspension or tire problem.

Vehicle rolled after gpoing out of control when tires came in contact with gravel on shoulder.

When it hits twenty mph or when applying the brakes vehicle will pull to the left or right. Consumer feels this is an unsafe way to drive.

Crm loves vehicle but there is alot of noises and vibrations and being a secon owner and having so many miles on the vehicle I haven't contacted about these problems nor had them fixed due to cost of repair. Crm is looking into buying another vehicle of this sort but now not necessarily Ford.

Vehicle is not able to be properly aligned due to the design of the camber unit, consumer has to purchase a camber kit in order for the vehicle to not pull to the right (alignment failure). Mjs.

Vehicle vibrates from 0 to 60 mph. It can be felt in the steering wheel , seats and center console. It is very noticeable when starting on an incline. In some cases it feels like something is banging. The dealer and mfg. Both tell me this in a normal condition and that there is nothing they can due to corrent this situation. I am afraid that as this vibration continues, something (drive shaft, break hose, trans or rear seals) will eventually start to break down or leak. If a break line or hose vibrates and begins to leak no telling what can happen !!!.

Vehicle suspension does not provide adequate stability. While driving in wet conditions, the driver loss control at 45mph and struck a guardrail.

While driving 25 mph had to make a fast right, causing the vehicle to tip over to the passenger side, which almost caused an accident.

While driving with trailer connected to vehicle, both started swaying, then lost control, resulting in a collision. Then trailer jack-knifed, bringing both vehicles to a stop, and causing damage to Explorer. No injuries.

Vehicle shimmies and makes a groaning noise.

Vehicle experiencing extreme vibration.

Vehicle roll over occurred while trying to avoid another vehicle, poor stability.

Driver loss control of vehicle while towing a 23. 5 ft travel trailer which swayed as he drove at 35mph on a dry road in calm weather.

Vehicle suddenly went out of control and almost rolled over. While changing lanes between uneven pavement, three of the tires were on newly paved lane, the other on old pavement. The vehicle suddenly without any warning began to rock uncontrollable from side to side.

While driving a loud noise occurs under the vehicle. Dealer cannot identify the problem.

Firestone tires were replaced due to recall 00t005, however consumer states replacement tires (not firestone's) experience the same vibration and when making a turn it feels like vehicle is going to rollover, problem is possibly suspension related.

Explorer roll over killed my sister-very unsafe vehicle-didn't have firestone tires-vehicle is very unsafe and they should be removed from the roads-she was going 35mph and swerved to avoid a head on collision with another vehicle in her lane-explorer flipped and she was killed instantly.

Severe vibration at 62mph - Ford said characteristic of vehicle would not fix or repair. ( dot number: tire size: p235/75r15 ).

Shakes bad, no shock rebound, sways and hard to steer.
