Engine problems of the 2006 Ford Explorer

Over the last 18 months with my Explorer I have had it die on me 4 times and had to get it towed to the dealer. 4 times they have told me that it was some sort of component in the throttle body that is causing it to die. It has died twice on me on the highway while doing 65 mph. This is not acceptable. The last time it happened was on Thursday April 15th. I brought it to the dealership and yet again they said it was a sensor in there and for the 4th time the replaced a component of this instead of the whole thing. They can not guarantee that this will fix it which is very disconcerting to me. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. I do not go above 45 mph because I do not want it to die on my on the highway again. That was extremely scary. Something needs to be done before anyone else has to go thru what I (and based on the online comments many other people have gone thru). Ford has a problem with the 2006 Explorers and something needs to be done.

Have had numerous problems starting with a lifter stuck in motor at 296 miles, to transmission failure at 15,700 miles. Brakes have squeaked since it was new, overhead console has fallen off twice, satellite radio works when it wants to. Door rubbed on running board, now gas mileage has dropped under 10 miles per gallon. 14 trips to dealership so far and still not all is fixed.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford Explorer. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle's engine suddenly shut off when the brakes were depressed. The failure occurred approximately fifteen times. The engine size was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 14,000.

SUV hesitates when accelerating. Dealer says can't be repaired. 2006 Ford Explorer with 1909 miles. Sent e-mail to you on 08/05/06 confirmation #10164629 as of this date no reply from you.
