All warning lights came on kept flashing that everything was wrong. Then the whole dash blacked out. I had no lights. No turn signals. Then they would come back on and off again. Had the car into the dealer on 7/20/20 when it keep saying head on collision and they told me nothing was wrong. On Nov. 20 had wench light come on and said the car could not hold on hill. On Nov. 24 they said they could not find any fault and problems. When I left I was at the light and the car accelerated trying to go forward. But I had my foot on the brake. So Dec 5, is when all the lights and electrical issues are going on. I was driving with all this going on I have a video but don't know how to add to the file. Also I could not check all the warning light above.

Vehicle started out fine. After a month of driving, far left dash lights died out. Those are the ones illuminating the oil pressure and battery. A few months later, the lights illuminating the speedometer and tachometer died out as well. This is not normal. Personally, I think it might be a short to ground, but I still have yet to find out.

Bought my 2002 Ford Explorer new. At 90000 miles, the mileage gauge went out and Ford dealership told me it would cost $600 to repair. My local repair shop told me that this problem is common with Ford Explorers and expeditions of the same year.

On two separate occasions my 2005 Ford Explorer XLT has completely died while the vehicle was in motion. Both instances happened at speeds of less than 45 mph. The vehicle goes dead, as if the key has been turned from "run" to the next position back. There are no symptoms prior to the vehicle shutting off. The vehicle experiences a total loss of power, all gauges go dead and all dash warning lights illuminate, so I know that the vehicle still has electrical power. Something is causing the engine to turn off while the vehicle is in motion. This has happened on the 13th of may and again on the 2nd of June. On both occasions I took the vehicle to garry smith Ford, in ft walton beach FL for service, and on both occasions I was told that they could not duplicate the fault and that there was no record of a fault in the vehicle system. I am not satisfied with their answer. They have replaced no parts on my vehicle and recommended that I simply keep driving it, until I can get it to die, then call them on the phone.
