Car Stall problems of the 2015 Ford Explorer

A little over a month ago the left rear toe link broke while driving. This caused the car to lose control and go into a sideways slide, breaking the wheel hub in the process. Smooth road going about 50 mph in good conditions. We got the car fixed and had to pay for the repairs since the car is no longer under factory warranty. After the Ford dealer in mchenry IL had it for over a week, we got the car back, drove it for a few days and suddenly we had a cracked exhaust flex pipe. We had to pay several hundred more to get that repaired. Again, driven on smooth roads in the summer, nothing that would have caused this so suddenly. Got the car back again after several more days in the shop. . Drove it for a couple more days and the left rear toe link broke. . Again. . . Dealer this time installed the "recall kit" on both sides. Luckily, this time it was at slow speeds coming into a parking lot . Had the car towed back to the dealer. Again. . We have had the car back for about 3 days now, and the left toe link has come loose. . Again. . The car will be towed back to the dealer tomorrow because it is unsafe to drive. It was driven 3 times at low speeds around town since we got it back. My wife is now afraid to drive the car out of fear of it breaking again. This is a serious issue if the recall part doesn't work. When this part fails, this car has a severe loss of control and can very easily result in an accident. Ford needs to get to the bottom of this before someone gets killed.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle stalled and the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. However, the mechanic stated that the throttle body needed to be replaced. Haldeman Ford (640 us-130, east windsor, NJ 08520, (833) 668-9583) was contacted and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 74,000.

2015 Ford Explorer limited approximately 80000 miles. While in motion loses engine all engine power and begins to shudder. The vehicle will not accelerate at all. After stopping the vehicle, shifting into park, shutting the engine off and restarting, the problem goes away as if it never happened. When this occurs the dashboard indicates �service terrain system management� with the wrench icon. It has happened several times, all without warning and all while on the highway and having to maneuver a stalling vehicle out of traffic. Very dangerous!! have taken it to the dealership twice with no answers to why it happens. No codes show up in the system. Something needs to be done before a serious or fatal accident occurs.

After completing a left turn on a warm sunny dry clear day on a flat road surface I had accelerated normally up to about 30 miles an hour (speed limit 45) and all of the sudden completely lost power. For a second I thought the car had stalled so I put it in neutral and tried to restart but it was in fact still running. It would not rev at all. I put the truck back into gear and turned on my four-way flashers. Pressing the gas did absolutely nothing, the engine was running rough and I was able to go about 5 miles an hour for about 500 feet at which point I pulled into a parking lot and started swearing at my 2015 Explorer with under 23k miles which could have killed me if it had lost power 30 seconds sooner while I was turning left. This is very clearly a health and safety defect and this vehicle should be recalled ASAP. Obviously I cannot allow my wife and child to drive in this vehicle. I've been driving for over 25 years and have never had anything like this happen.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Explorer. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle lost power and slowed down independently. The contact stated that an unknown warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle stalled and was able to be restarted. The failure recurred three more times. The vehicle was taken to autonation Ford (st. Petersburg 2525 34th st n, st. Petersburg, FL 33713) where the dealer was unable to diagnose the vehicle or replicate the failure; however, the alternator and battery were replaced. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was out of warranty and mentioned that they would call back to inform the contact of whether the vehicle's warranty would be extended. The contact also called a lemon law hotline and was informed that the law did not apply to the case. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

When driving down the road and accelerating the car immediately stalled and I had to pull of the side of the road for safety. I was on a country road and able to restart my car without issue till 1 week later when I was downtown driving home at 1:00am and I had to push my car one block in order to get to a safe play and get a tow. It has been in the shop for over 1 month with Ford saying its a number of things it isn't. It is till under warranty and I believe this is an issue with the ecoboost on the vehicle. This in its own could have been a very dangerous situation. This could have been even worse if I was on the interstate (which is where I was headed) they initially said it was the power train module and we waited on the part for 1 month and it didn't fix anything. Now they are stating its the tubing for the turbo engine (ecoboost) and we continue to wait on the part and the repair. This Explorer has 34,000 and is a red Ford Explorer ecoboost.

When I drive my Explorer and the engine revs up above 2800 rpm while merging onto a highway, a strong exhaust odor comes in the cab of my vehicle. The smell is bad enough that all my family has become very dizzy to the point of almost passing out and we have had headaches immediately after. I have a 2 year old daughter and I worry that the exhaust odor can harm her and the rest of our family. Before filing this complaint I did research and I found that a police officer in California sustained serious injuries due to a crash that was caused by the same exhaust smell on his Explorer which made him faint. Additionally, the austin police department has now installed carbon monoxide detectors in their police vehicles due to a police officer experiencing the same symptoms after his vehicle had exhaust enter the cabin of his Explorer. I believe that this issue needs immediate attention because lives are at risk and it has not been resolved. This issue that has happened in my personal Explorer is not random. It happens every single time that the engine exceeds 2800 rpm. This happens whether I have the air conditioner/heater on or not. I am honestly considering stopping using my vehicle until this matter is resolved. I have taken my vehicle to the local Ford dealership and they wanted to charge me 1,800 dollars to fix the issue, but they advised that it is not 100% guaranteed that the issue would be resolved. I strongly disagree with this and therefore I will sincerely hope that our NHTSA can help us Ford Explorer owners to fix the problem.
