Car Stall problems of the 2006 Ford Explorer

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Explorer. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, but the failure recurred two more times. The vehicle was taken to tri star Ford (930 old us hwy 22, blairsville, PA 15717), but the dealer was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no recalls. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to another dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 37,500. The VIN was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that various warning indicators flashed and the vehicle stalled several times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the fly by wire pedal and the throttle body were replaced, but the failure continued. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

The vehicle was driving at a speed of 40-45 mph and stalled. This again happened on may 25, 2012 while leaving on our vacation. We parked the vehicle and rented one to drive the remaining distance. When taken to a mechanic it was found the throttle body was bad. We have replaced it and in the month of November the vehicle began doing it again. As you drive it will just completely shut off. As the mechanic told us there is no electricity going to the engine and you can coast to the shoulder and restart the vehicle. This will be the 2nd time correcting this problem if this is the true issue. It was read there is a recall on Ford vehicles for that year make but not for the Explorer model. I have contacted Ford and they also stated there is no recall. With the age and low mileage of the vehicle there is no reason this should be happening.

The vehicle has harsh upshifts when accelerating from 1st to 4th gear, creating momentary loss of control. The vehicle will stall, then jerk forward a few inches unannounced, which has the potential of causing a wreck or hitting a pedestrian. The same will occur when shifting from drive to reverse, and vice-versa. Also, sometimes the rpm will increase drastically on its own without an increase in speed. I'm afraid this will cause an accident if the speed decides to increase.

During a left turn across three lanes of traffic our Explorer would not accelerate. It lurched to start and would not go above 10-15 mph, nearly stalling. We were able to drive the car home but could not get it to go above 20 mph. At speeds 10 - 20 mph it jerked violently. This was a common occurence at speeds 45 - 60. Moderately accelerating between 45 - 60 mph has caused hard jerks for years with this car prior to it being off warranty. We've taken it to ted britt Ford several times and each time they said there was nothing wrong. We also noted they only put it on the ticket once, the other times telling us they took it off since they didn't have the issue and wouldn't charge us for it. The time mentioned in this incident the dealer offered to split the cost with us due to our previous issues and their inability to fix it. They also did not fix the issue as we still cannot accelerate at speeds 45 - 60 without hard jerking from the engine or transmission. We no longer use this car on the highway because it is dangerous trying to switch lanes or merge on to a highway when the car violently shakes at highway speeds. It would not accelerate and often left us running out of merge lane space without the ability to get into traffic. I have read several such problems with this car and I am surprised nothing has been done about it. We have spent thousands having this car looked at and in failed attempts to fix it.

While travelling on the highway the vehicle suddenly lost power as if it stalled. Engine was running but vehicle had no power. Vehicle had to be turned off and restarted to regain power. Always feared being rear ended or stalling on railroad tracks. Dealer determined it was electronic throttle control and replaced it. The vehicle has not had this malfunction since the repair about 18 months ago.

My SUV stalls any time the car slows down or it will accelerate on its own up to 60mph so that I have to drive with my foot on the brake. Tonight the car stalled in the middle of a major intersection and took 5 minutes before it would restart. When it did restart it accelerated so rapidly another accident almost occurred. I have taken the SUV to the dealership three times over three years and the say that it is doing nothing wrong. I have found websites that other consumers are driving in the same hazardous vehicles with no recourse from Ford. I am renting a car now because I am terrified to drive mine.
