Fueling system/fuel pump failure. This is my second 2002 Ford Explorer and I'm having the same issue. The first Explorer I had I replaced the fuel pump and continued to have the same. Now the current 2002 Explorer I have now is experience the same exact issue. I'm just amazed at how many complaints there are about this problem from other buyers and it still isn't considerated a recall. Very frustrated!.
2002 Ford Explorer at 15000 miles; bought truck used from my brother. He never drove it because he had a company car. Fuel pump went out while driveing it home, door adjar light never went out, check engin light came on(should have taken it right back to my brother). $650. 00 to replace fuel pump, $100. 00 to fix door adjar light(fixed myself), $600. 00 to fix check engin light and that problem was different depending on which place checked the error codes. Now the fuel gage is going all over the place and very poor mpg. Was told the sending unit is probable cause. Now this 2002 Explorer still under 20,000 miles. What next!!.
1) 2002 Ford Explorer will crank but not start when weather is hot (2) many times at home when weather is hot. Consequences: unable to use car for a month. (3) Ford dealer ($250) changed fuel idle box. Did not correct problem. (4) Ford now wants to change fuel pump for $1000. 00 mileage is 12000 . .
2002 Ford Explorer- a nightmare of problems that keep getting worse. It has 56k miles on it and I am about to replace the transmission. Fuel pump , 2 rear springs, 2 wheel bearings and the drivers side window motor have already been replaced. Neither of the 2 rear windows roll down and the back hatch lift replace on recall is broken yet again. This is the biggest hunk of junk on 4 wheels. Ford needs to do something. Thank god I didn't buy it new because that really would have been a rip off.
Fuel pump failed while driving into my driveway with only 11,000 miles on the car. Cost $ 950. 00 to replace the pump at dealer. This could be dangerous if it occurred while driving on freeway. A few weeks earlier I noticed a one time occurrence when the car didn't want to accelerate while driving at approx. 55 mph but problem corrected itself.
Drivers side saftey belt has broken too, air vent has broken too, sunroof design problem too, fuel pump failed at 14000 mi too.
