1 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2020

This truck has had issues since I bought it like 5 months ago from carmax within that time I really only had it a month rest of time it has been in the shop I bought with 26k miles from carmax already had rebuilt engine breaks roaders still have engine issues now today belt broke and needs to be towed I should not have to have do many issues with a new truck not mention if you do not shut the trunk hard it will drain the battery since it keeps the lights on in the truck already had to replace the battery. This truck has been a lemon since day one and should have never been sold I feel this truck is not reliable and unsafe at times. Not worth the 26000 I paid for it. Plus the sensors go off for no reason and nothing is around.

Failure Date: 06/24/2016

On 06/24/2016 I was driving my family north on i95 the belt way / maryland 5 lanes of travel in heavy traffic. Without warning our 2016 Ford Explorer completely lost power and a wrench indicator light came on the display. This was in the approach of the ft. Mc henery tunnel we had no place to go with a tractor trailer almost striking us,my family was terrified . The vehicle did start again 3 minutes later with normal rpms we attempted to drive on with this happening 4 more times causing us to go to the shoulder. I am a police officer and a traffic investigator I am in fear because this is a well known problem and we were not contacted by Ford about this problem my families safety and the publics is at an extreme risk, this must be addressed before a tragedy happens. I have since called my dealer lester glenn Ford in n. J. And they will check the vehicle however if the public is not made aware of this lives may be lost that could have been saved .
