general problems of the 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Issue Feb 2018 - present I bought my 2nd- hand 2007 Ford sport trac in February 2018, from the original owner. We had experienced 2 cat-five hurricanes; power and internet was almost nonexistent, so I could not research the truck. On the second day after my purchase, while driving down a street at about 30 mph, it stalled. I had very little breaks and no steering. When I tried to crank it, it would turn over but not fire. For the last two years, I have had no luck fixing the issue. Upon research, there are hundreds of blogs/ questions / attempts to repair from owners trying to fix the same issue. One blog said that it had been requested for Ford to do a recall, but Ford denied that there was an issue. It may drive great for 3 weeks and then when you are driving straight down a steep, curvy mountain in traffic, it turns off with no way to stop quickly or control the steering. If you drive too slowly or someone pulls in front of you and drives 5 miles an hour, it will stop. If you punch the gas pedal to get out of the way of a dangerous situation, it will often stall. Sometimes it won't drive, and then it surges forward. It often sounds like the fuel is running rich. You never know when it will happen so you are always in danger. I have changed out the starter switch, shift linkage, just about every sensor, pump, filter, wiring, egr valve, throttlebody� another original owner on island said he's ready to drive his off of a cliff after dealing with this problem for three years. His truck is a 2010 I believe. I checked back with him recently. He changed out his computer system and it is now running properly for the moment. I can't sell my truck bc my ethics won't allow it. I can't trash it bc I need to sell it to buy another. I bought the truck to be safe. It has done nothing but placed me in danger and depleted my wallet.

The brake pedal had become soft after 51,000 miles and a recent brake job. After calling the mechanic who did the job he said that the lines didnt need to bleed because the lines were never opened.

I was at the yield sign at the feeder lane approaching the nasa bypass in webster, texas when I applied my brakes as another car was ahead of me and had stopped. Instead of braking, my vehicle accelerated and I run into the rear of the car ahead. The cause of the problem is the design in the vehicle. The brake pedal when depressed is lower than the accelerator pedal and they are too close together. If the brake is not applied exactly right a person can unintentionally hit the accelerator pedal. The vehicle is a 2007 Ford explorer sports trac truck.

The front disc brakes on my 2007 Ford sporttrac makes a loud squealing noise when I apply my brakes. I took the vehicle to the Ford dealer and was told that my brakes were in perfect condition. I am concerned about my safety when I apply the brakes.

I have a 2007 Explorer Sport Trac XLT into of server for fall in the brakes,the bob of engineer stated what was the most common fault in this vehicle,today have â¡40 daysâ¡ and the pcm in the vehicle cant be repaired by the shop. Description of the problem: when trying to step on the brakes, the vehicle tends to slip this can possibly cause an accident when I spoke with other Ford owners.

The contact owns a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. While accelerating, the rear brakes locked and caused the rear tires to drag. Both the abs and traction control lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The dealer stated that the shaft assembly (part number fp-7l2z4k138a) failed and caused the back end to lock while driving 15 mph. The failure has occurred twice. The contact purchased the vehicle for safety and no longer feels safe driving the vehicle. The failure mileage was 6,821.

No accident yet but. . . . Brakes on my vehicle are very soft. Brake pedal when applied goes below the accelerator pedal. Accelerator and brake pedal are very close to each other. Unless operator is very careful to move right foot completely over to brake pedal the proximity of the two pedals and the softness or amount of brake pedal travel below the accelerator, the operator presses the accelerator and the brake at the same time. No amount of pressure to the brakes will stop the vehicle because the harder the brake is pressed the more the accelerator is activated. I have personally come close to hitting vehicles ahead of me due to this condition. Corrective action to release pedals and re locate foot on break is nearly impossible in stop many situations. I have returned this vehicle to a number of factory dealerships who advise brakes are within specifications. I have complained to customer service to only be told to take it to an authorized dealership. I have written the company. I am totally ignored. Ford has to be very aware of Toyota but ignores this perhaps identical situation. Your next entry does not allow me to accurately identify a date because it happens on a regular basis since I purchase the vehicle new in 2007. I just picked a date.
