2016 Ford Explorer complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 55-60MPH THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND THE "WRENCH" ICON FOR SERVICE ENGINE CAME ON. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY, ALTHOUGH WE DID SLOW TRAFFIC AS OUR VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE BEYOND 5-10 MPH AND WE HAD TO CROSS OVER 2 LANES TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. THE PROBLEM ENDED UP BEING THE THROTTLE BODY; SPECIFICALLY, THE WARRANTY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AIR INTAKE. THE SERVICE TOOK 3 DAYS DUE TO A SHORTAGE OF THE PART. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AS I'M FINDING MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED WITH ONLY 5,343 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE MECHANICAL FAILURE.

JUST LEASED THIS 2016 FORD EXPLORER. IT HAS 700 MILES ON IT. WE HAVE NOT MADE A PAYMENT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR. NOBODY WAS WITHIN A MILE OF ME. I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR. THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE WINDOW. IT CLEARLY HAD EXPLODED OUTWARD. THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL SOURCE TO CAUSE THE WINDOW TO EXPLODE. I AM A POLICE OFFICER, AND HAVE SEEN WHERE WINDOWS EXPLODE OR ARE SMASHED. THE WINDOW WILL TAKE A SLIGHT INDENT OR POOF OUTWARD FROM THE FORCE. IN THIS CASE, THE WINDOW WAS POOFED OUTWARD. THERE WAS ALSO A FAINT ORDER IN THE CAR AFTERWARD. IT ALMOST SMELLED LIKE THE MATERIAL FROM AIRBAGS, THOUGH CLEARLY NO AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS FROM THE SHATTERED GLASS OR NOT.

STARTED SMELLING SULFUR/ROTTEN EGGS EXHAUST THROUGH THE VENTS AROUND 3K MILES UNDER HARD ACCELERATION. IT'S A POLICE VERSION WITH THE 3.7L. SMELLED IT IN RE-CIRCULATION MODE AND THE FRESH AIR MODE. NOW HAVE 5900 MILES ON IT AND ONE DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS 50-60 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AIRBAG LIGHT, AND WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE DASH ALSO SAID "SEE OWNERS MANUAL". CAR ALSO MAKES A SPUTTERING NOISE. ...UPDATED 01/23/17 *BF

AS I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ON JUNE 28, AS I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A MAJOR STREET, APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, WHEN MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER BEGAN TO DECELERATE. EVEN AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT SPEED UP. AS I CAME TO A STOP AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO JERK WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH AT THIS POINT. I DECIDED TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME, WHICH WAS ABOUT 5 MILES AWAY AND THE TRUCK KEPT DECELERATING THE MORE I HIT THE ACCELERATOR. I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME AND GET MY EXPLORER TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BAD TRANSMISSION, IN A 5 MONTH OLD TRUCK, WITH LESS THAN 3500 MILES ON IT. MY EXPLORER HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR TWO WEEKS, AND I COULD POSSIBLY BE LOOKING AT ANOTHER TWO WEEKS BEFORE IT IS REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER.

THE INSIDE OF THE SUV SMELLS EXHAUST GAS WHEN YOU ARE MERGING INTO FREEWAY ON RAMPS AND/OR PASSING SOMEONE. ESPECIALLY WITH THE SUNROOF OPEN.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2016 FORD EXPLORER THAT HAS 4900 MILES ON IT. AFTER MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE CAR LOST POWER, WENT INTO (LIMP MODE) WRENCHES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT AND RESTARTED THE CAR WHICH RAN OK FOR ANOTHER MILE BEFORE IT LOST POWER AGAIN, RESTARTED AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULT. DECIDED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALER. WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN INTERNAL THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE REPLACED THROTTLE BODY WAS THE SAME PART NUMBER AS THE FAILED ONE. HE WAS NOT SURE IF FORD HAD MODIFIED THE REPLACEMENT PART OR NOT. YOU SPEND ALL THIS MONEY ON A NEW CAR AND CAN'T BE SURE IF IT WILL MAINTAIN POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED. IF FORD HAS MODIFIED THIS PART THEY SHOULD AT LEAST NOTIFY THEIR CUSTOMERS AND DEALERS TO ASSURE US DRIVERS THAT THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN.

ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY FAILED WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 50+ MPH. I COMPLETELY LOST ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING IN THE CENTER LANE DURING A BUSY RUSH HOUR. IT IS BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT I WAS ABLE TO CROSS THREE LANES AND MAKE IT ON TO THE SHOULDER. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I STARTED THE IGNITION AGAIN AND I HAD ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO MY NEAREST FORD SERVICE SHOP ABOUT 10 MILES AWAY. AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE, THE SERVICE TECH STATED MY ISSUE WOULD BE FIXED WITH A NEW PART BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THE FLAW THAT CAUSED THE ORIGINAL PART TO FAIL IN THE FIRST PLACE HAS BEEN RESOLVED. I ONLY HAVE 5600 MILES ON MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER AFTER 7 MONTHS OF RELATIVELY LIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY FORD EXPLORER OR FORD AS A COMPANY.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER ON A BUSY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE.IT LOST ALL POWER. I AM TERRIFIED OF DRIVING IT NOW. IT WOULD NOT MOVE FASTER THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR HAS 6,000 MILES ON IT.

I WAS DRIVING CLOSE TO MY HOUSE AND ALMOST CAUSED A BIG ACCIDENT WHILE I HAD MY CHILDREN ON BOARD. THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY ( SUDDENLY STOPPED) AND LOST POWER, I WAS LUCKY THAT NOT ACCIDENT OCCURRED ( CAN U IMAGINE IF I WAS IN THE MIAMI EXPRESSWAY AND THAT HAPPENED). I'M ATTACHING A PIC SHOWING THE CHECK ENGINE, WRENCH LIGHT THAT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY AMERICANS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, IT IS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AND SHUTDOWN AT ANY TIME. FORD IS ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND YOU GUYS MORE LIKELY ARE AWARE TOO. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS WAITING TO ISSUE A RECALL?? WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE?

2016 FORD EXPLORER LIMITED W/ABOUT 7K MILES ON IT. RENTED THIS VEHICLE FROM A NATIONAL RENTAL CAR AGENCY. ON 7/8/2016 WHILE TRAVELING ON A STATE RD IN THE MIDDLE OF A MAJOR INTERSECTION THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY AND I WAS SO LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET REAR ENDED OR HIT BY OTHER CARS GOING BY AT 45MPH OR MORE. I WAS COMPLETELY SHAKEN UP. WHEN THE TRAFFIC SLOWED I MANAGED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE GAS PEDAL STARTED TO WORK AGAIN AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL THE RENTAL COMPANY. THIS WAS THE SECOND FORD EXPLORER THAT WAS GIVEN TO US BY THE RENTAL COMPANY AFTER THE FIRST FORD EXPLORER 2016 ALSO WITH LOW MILEAGE GAVE US THE SAME PROBLEM FEW DAYS EARLIER. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 45MPH ON THE OUTSIDE LANE OF A 6 LANE STATE RD WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PASSED THIS INFORMATION ON TO THE BRANCH MANAGER OF THE RENTAL COMPANY WHO WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HOPE THIS WILL ALERT THEM TO PULL OUT THIS PARTICULAR MODEL FROM THEIR INVENTORY UNTIL THEY HAVE THEM ALL FIXED. PERHAPS THIS WILL HELP SAVE SOME UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS AND EVEN A FATALITY. WE ARE STAYING AWAY FROM THIS VEHICLE TYPE AND MODEL FROM NOW ON UNTIL THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WITH NO WARNING. THE WENCH LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WOULD ONLY ROUGH IDLE - PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING. WE HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD; FORTUNATELY THERE WAS VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AT THE TIME, HAD TRAFFIC BEEN HEAVY WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY SERIOUS WRECK. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, WE LEARNED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WAS FAULTY AND THIS HAS APPARENTLY BEEN A KNOW ISSUE WITH FORD FOR SEVERAL YEARS! THIS WAS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED LESS THAN 5 MONTHS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE FORD KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS REFUSED TO TAKE STEPS NEEDED TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. EVEN THOUGH THE PART WAS ORDERED ON AN "EMERGENCY" BASIS, IT WAS OVER A WEEK BEFORE THE PART WAS DELIVERED; THIS SEEMS TO CONFIRM THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE. FORD IS KNOWINGLY SELLING CARS WITH FAULTY PARTS AND THE PROBLEM COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER WILL LOSE POWER UNDER VARIOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 45-55 MPH THE CAR ENGINE DROPPED TO IDLE (~800 RPM) AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR. THIS OCCURRED IN TRAFFIC AND CREATED MANY CLOSE CALLS. IT HAS OCCURRED THREE TIMES TO ME, AND RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE SERVICE VEHICLE SOON AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED TWICE FOR THE SAME FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

ON MY 2016 EXPLORER LIMITED 3.5 N/A V6 - UNDER HARD (GETTING ON FWY) OR EXTENDED ACCELERATION (UPHILL CLIMB) EXHAUST FUMES CAN BE NOTICED BY THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THERE IS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION ON THE 11-15 YEARS BUT THE 16 SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS WELL. THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FROM NEW TO CURRENT 11K MILES. THIS HAPPENED ON MY PREVIOUS 2013 MODEL AS WELL.

EXHAUST OR BURNING SMELL INSIDE INTERIOR CABIN WHEN ACCELERATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE INDEPENDENTLY CLOSED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT SLIPPED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MOVE AWAY AND SUSTAINED A BROKEN HIP, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 12/20/16*LJ *JS

THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM OCCURRED THREE TIMES OVER TWO DAYS. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN A WRENCH LIGHT AND AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE'S THROTTLE STOPPED RESPONDING. IF I LET OFF THE BREAK THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE AT APPROXIMATELY 5MPH SO I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROADWAY. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY OFFICE WHERE I LEFT IT PARKED UNTIL AFTER LUNCH. WHEN I CRANKED UP THE VEHICLE AFTER LUNCH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ON. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY TEN MORE MILES I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING TRUCK. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A WHILE I CRANKED IT AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. I MADE IT HOME WITH NO ISSUE AND THE NEXT MORNING I LEFT HOME HEADING TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP THE VEHICLE OFF. AS I WAS TURNING LEFT ON TO A SIDE STREET THE VEHICLE AGAIN STALLED AND AGAIN I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND AFTER THAT WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT AN ISSUE. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY WAS THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE I WAS OPERATING IS AN UNDERCOVER POLICE VEHICLE AND ONLY HAS 9,000 MILES ON IT. HAD I BEEN RESPONDING TO AN EMERG

THE 2016 MODEL ALSO HAS THE ODOR FROM THE VENTILATION WHICH IS INVESTIGATED NOW. THE ODOR OCCURS DURING DRIVING AT REGULAR METHODS AFTER THE ENGINE CAN HEAT UP FOR A FEW MILES. THIS "NEW CAR" SMELL WAS CALLED REGULAR HEATING OF NEW PARTS BY THE SALESMAN BUT NOW IT HAS BEEN 3000 MILES AND HE ODOR IS STILL HAPPENING. I JUST WANT THE 2016 TO BE CHECKED OUT FOR EMISSION TROUBLES TO MAINTAIN A SAFE RIDE FOR FAMILY MEMBERS.

UPON HEAVY ACCELERATION THERE IS A DISTINCT ODOR OF EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THIS VEHICLE IS A PLATINUM TRIM WITH THE 3.5 LITER V6 ECOBOOST ENGINE. I HAVE 6500 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO PUT THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I HAD MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE AND IMMEDIATELY HAD TO PULL OVER FOR FEAR THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SUFFERED A FAILURE. I FOUND NO FAULTS IN THE EXHAUST AND CONTINUED TO MY DESTINATION. THIS MORNING (7-5-16) WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I ACCELERATED HEAVILY IN AN ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND AGAIN UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST GASES IN THE CABIN.

I WAS DRIVING 45MPH ON A BUSY STREET WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR JUST STALLED. I HAD KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT AND FRANTICALLY PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL WHICH PRESSED DOWN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE WRENCH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND PULL OVER. WE ARE SO FORTUNATE WE DIDN'T REACH THE HIGHWAY YET ON THIS BUSY HOLIDAY WEEKEND. I AM SURE IT WOULD HAVE ENDED DIFFERENTLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHAT GOOD IS A NEW CAR IF YOU CAN'T TRUST IT? HOPING THE THROTTLE BODY IS A RECONFIGURED PART WHEN THEY FIX IT. NEEDS A RECALL!!

MY VEHICLE EMITS EXHAUST IN THE CABIN WHILE DRIVING. UPON ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION, THE EXHAUST SMELL IS SO POTENT, ME AND MY PASSENGERS HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. I RETURNED THE VEHICLE THE DAY AFTER PURCHASING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND HAVE RETURNED IT FOR REPAIRS MANY TIMES SINCE. THEY HAVE SEALED ALL OPENINGS UNDER THE VEHICLE, REPLACED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND REPLACED THE VENTS IN THE BUMPER. FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY EXPLORER, HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIX IT. MY LAST REPAIR VISIT IN JUNE 2016, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I NEED TO COME PICK UP MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY COULD DO NOTHING ELSE FOR IT. THEY HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR IT AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THIS HAS CAUSED VARIOUS HEALTH ISSUES FOR ME, WHICH INCLUDE, HEADACHES AND NAUSEA. FORD HAS IGNORED ALL OF MY REQUEST TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED I AM BEING POISONED BY EXHAUST.

BURNING EXHAUST SMELL ENTERING INTO CABIN OF CAR WHEN CAR IS UNDER HARD ACCELERATION/FULL THROTTLE. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO A HIGHWAY OR CLIMBING STEEP HILLS. THIS BURNING EXHAUST SMELL MAKES ALL PASSENGERS FEEL SICK BY AFFECTING YOUR RESPIRATORY PASSAGEWAYS LEAVING A LUMP IN YOUR THROAT, BURNING YOUR EYES, GIVING YOU A HEADACHE, AND MAKING YOU FEEL NAUSEOUS. THE RECENT NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO 2011-2015 MODELS, SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE 2016 MODELS AS WELL. FORD HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AND HAS TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO "FIX" MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER. NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND AND THEY HAVE REFUSED SO FAR TO TAKE THE CAR BACK.

THROTTLE BODY FAILED ON VEHICLE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BARELY MISSED A REAR END COLLISION FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE.

WHEN A STRAIN IS PUT ON THE ENGINE, SUCH AS IN PASSING GEAR, A BURNING RUBBER SMELL IS EMITTED IN THE INTERIOR, EVEN WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING IN RECIRCULATE AIR IN VEHICLE MODE. IN 2013 I DIALOGUED WITH FORD HEADQUARTERS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE WITH A 2012 EXPLORER LIMITED THAT I OWNED. IN 2013 THEY SENT ME TO ROYAL OAK FORD IN ROYAL OAK. MI AND THE SERVICE MANAGER RODE WITH ME TO OBSERVE THE SMELL. THEY NEVER OFFERED ANY TYPE OF REPAIR. I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD HAVE SOLVED THIS BY 2016, HOWEVER NOW WITH THE WARM SUMMER WEATHER THIS 2016 EXPLORER EMITS THE PUTRID SMELL JUST AS BADLY. IT SMELL LIKE THE RUBBER PADDING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE IS BURNING. VEHICLE HAS 8,900 MILES, PURCHASED BRAND NEW 10/25/15.

WRENCH CAUTION AND REDUCED POWER WHILE DRIVING 65-75 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS HAPPENED TO AT LEAST 23 OTHER DRIVERS WITH NEW 2016 EXPLORERS I ONLY HAVE 6825 MILES. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS BECOME A SIMILAR PROBLEM TO THE 2014 MODELS. THE FIX ON ALL OF THEM IS A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY OR THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR IS WHAT A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK SAID. THANK GOD I STAYED CALM AND FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY.

THROTTLE BODY - HAS FAILED. ORANGE WRENCH LIGHT CAME ON , RIGHT AFTER MAKING A RIGHT TURN AND CAR WENT INTO WHAT IS CALLED "LIMP MODE". THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS AT LEAST 200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME, IN MID SIZE CITY.

WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO ENTER AN ENTRANCEWAY TO AN INTERSTATE WHEN THE CAR LOST SPEED AND WOULD ONLY MOVE AT APPROX. 10 MPH. WRENCH AND SEATBELT WAS DISPLAYED AND MESSAGE TO CHECK OWNERS MANUAL

2016 POLICE UTILITY: WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHILE TRANSPORTING A PRISONER. VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. VEHICLE HAD STEERING AND BRAKE ONLY. VEHICLE MOTOR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND MISFIRE. VEHICLE TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP.

I WAS DRIVING HOME AT 10:00 AM AFTER VISITING A DOCTOR'S OFFICE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AT 57 MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR GAS PEDDLE IS NOT WORKING. THE CAR IS IN COMPLETE SHUT DOWN MODE. I ROLLED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION TO GET TO SAFE PLACE OUT OF TRAFFIC. THE CAR DASH BOARD SHOWED A WRENCH AND ENGINE LIGHT AND ON THE DASHBOARD A MESSAGE STATED "SEE MANUAL". THE CAR HAD COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. SCARED TO DEATH AT WHAT JUST HAPPENED, I CALLED FORD WARRANTY NUMBER FOR A TOW TRUCK AND WAITED FOR 2 1/2 HOURS TILL FINALLY THE TOW TRUCK SHOWED UP. WHEN I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR, I WAS SERIOUSLY DEVASTATED. TWO MANAGERS TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT THEY WOULD WORK TO FIND OUT. THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND HOW SERIOUS THIS SITUATION WAS AND NEVER TOLD ME AT THE TIME. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE THROTTLE BODY. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING A QUITE A FEW OF FORD'S CARS. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THE VERY SERIOUS SITUATION I HAD BEEN IN. I SEARCHED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE AND THERE WASN'T ANY. THIS NEEDS TO STOP AND FORD NEEDS TO RECALL ALL THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. I DO NOT CARE TO OWN THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER OR ANY OTHER FORD VEHICLE FOR THAT MATTER.. WHOSE TO SAY THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T EXIST IN ANY OTHER MODELS. I WAS CALLED YESTERDAY BUT JUSTIN IN SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WAS GOING TO TAKE ALONG TIME TO GET THE PART AND THAT HE WOULD STAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THE THERE WAS A FUEL ODOR BEING RELEASED INTO THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE ODOR WAS PRESENT AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT NO REMEDY WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

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 .

FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAUSED ENGINE TO LOSE POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND VEHICLE SLOWED TO IDLE ON HIGHWAY. SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING AT 65 MPH AND THEN VEHICLE COULD NOT EXCEED 20 MPH.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOVEMENT, GOING 50 MPH, WHEN IT CAME TO A SUDDEN STALL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH EVEN WHILE PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE WRENCE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND IT WOULD IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH.

2016 FORD EXPLORER WITH 4800 MILES STOPPED ACCELERATING WHICH CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY AND INJURY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM BY FORD, BASED ON INTERNET SEARCH AND THEY HAVE NOT RECALLED THIS SUV. FORD INDICATED IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THIS PART IS CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER FOR MANY WEEKS. WHY IS FORD NOT RECALLING THIS SUV AS SOMEONE CAN GET SERIOUSLY INJURED?

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR EVERYTHING WAS FINE, IT HAS 4,800 MILES ON IT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL PUSH TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. A SMALL TOOL WRENCH CAME ON THE DASH WITH A SERVICE LIGHT. I BROUGHT MY EXPLORER TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT IT'S BEEN FOUR WEEKS AND THE PART IS STILL ON BACK ORDER.

THE VEHICLE WAS PAUSED AT GAS STATION EXIT READY TO ENTER THE TRAFFIC. WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD THEN IMMEDIATELY THREE LIGHTS (AIR BAG, WRENCH, AND MOTOR) CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE LEAVING ME TO SIMPLY "ROLL" ON AND MANEUVER TO A SIDE AREA OFF THE MAIN ROAD. THANKFULLY THE BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONING OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY WORSE.

4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING A NEW EXPLORER, IT BEGAN TO LURCH WHILE WAITING AT RED LIGHTS. THAT SAME WEEK, WHILE DRIVING ON THE DALLAS NORTH TOLLWAY (70 MPH), THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE (GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK). AFTER DODGING CARS, I MADE IT OVER 3 LANES WITH THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND PROCEEDED TO THE EXIT RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL OFF THE RAMP ACROSS 3 LANES (ROLLING) TO A PARKING LOT. THE EXPLORER HAD TO BE TOWED (FLATBED) TO THE DEALERSHIP.

2016 FORD EXPLORER WITH HANKOOK VENTUS S1 NOBLE 2 TIRES. APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL SURFACE STREET AT 45 MPH. HER TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY THE VEHICLE VEERED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS A 2-3 INCH LACERATION IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THERE WERE NOT ANY POTHOLES IN THE STREET WHERE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. TIRE SEEMED TO HAVE SIMPLY "BLOWN OUT". TIRE WAS REPLACED. YESTERDAY MY WIFE WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM FROM ONE SURFACE STREET TO ANOTHER TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15-20 MPH AND THE REPLACEMENT TIRE BLEW OUT AGAIN. SIMILAR DETAILS; TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR ILLUMINATED WHILE VEHICLE SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT. AGAIN, NO POTHOLES WERE PRESENT AND ZERO INDICATION OF FOREIGN OBJECTS CAUSING FLAT. THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY A 2-3 INCH LACERATION TO SIDEWALL OF FRONT PASSENGER TIRE. THESE TWO INCIDENTS OCCURRED IN A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME SPAN. I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ABOUT WEAK SIDEWALLS REGARDING THESE TIRES AS EARLY AS 2013. ADDITIONALLY, HANKOOK AND HYUNDAI HAVE ISSUED A RECALL FOR THESE TIRES (ALBEIT A DIFFERENT SIZE) DUE TO SIDEWALL PROBLEMS. WITHOUT POTHOLES AND/OR FOREIGN OBJECTS CAUSING THE FLAT TIRES, IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. MY WIFE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE IN HER VEHICLE, AND IS AFRAID THAT ANOTHER BLOWOUT MAY OCCUR WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHER SPEEDS (FREEWAY).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE "SEE OWNER'S MANUAL" MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLED AND STOPPED, BUT DID NOT SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STRUTTER BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE PART WOULD BE EXPEDITED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,108.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD EXPLORER. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, AND STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 FORD EXPLORER WITH APPROXIMATELY 6,500 MILES ON IT DOWN A SECONDARY ROAD. AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN, MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER AND I COASTED TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WAS FORTUNATE NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AS I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED WITH MY SUDDEN STOP. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY VEHICLE. DUE TO THIS EVENT I HAVE LOST TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN MY NEW VEHICLE. I DRIVE AND JUST WONDER WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I NOW ALWAYS DRIVE IN THE RIGHT LANE ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN ON A SECONDARY ROAD I FIND MYSELF ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A PLACE WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER IF I LOSE POWER AGAIN. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING!

MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY 6-15-2016, VEHICLE LOST ALMOST ALL POWER. WAS ONLY ABLE TO COAST WITH NO POWER STEERING. DASBOARD FLASHED "SEE OWNERS MANUAL". HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER SAID IT WAS A BAD THROTTLE BODY SENSOR THAT IS ON BACK ORDER. WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SOMETIME IN JULY. I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY SO THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL.

2016 FORD EXPLORER XLT THROTTLE BODY FAILED AT JUST OVER 8,000 MILES WITHOUT WARNING. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH OUR 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND PET DOG IN 95 DEGREE WEATHER WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN TO AN IDLE ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND VERY LITTLE SHOULDER ROOM TO PULL OVER ON. LATER I FIND OUT, WITH A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH FORD THROTTLE BODIES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR THIS TO BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE AND WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY. NOW THE VEHICLE PART IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR INCIDENCES, WITH NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR REPAIR. NOW, EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE GETS REPAIRED, I CANNOT TRUST OR RELY ON THIS VEHICLE TO KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE ON THE HIGHWAY AND WILL BE TRADING IT FOR A VEHICLE WITH A PROVEN SAFETY RECORD. PLEASE GET THIS VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE'S FAMILY GETS KILLED FOR NO REASON. I WILL BE SEEKING LEGAL COUNSEL ON THIS MATTER BECAUSE IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A IGNORED ISSUE JUST TO MAKE SALES, AND I WILL NOT SIT BY AND LET IT CONTINUE TO GO UNNOTICED AND FORD SHOULD VALUE THE LIVES AND SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND GET IT FIXED FOR GOOD NOW. NOT TOMORROW, NOT NEXT WEEK, NOW!

THE THROTTLE BODY ON MY FORD EXPLORER FAILED AT ONLY 6,000 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE LEFT LANE OF AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT ~65 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE DECELERATED DOWN TO 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT IT WAS ESSENTIALLY 'DEAD' IN THAT NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I WAS LOSING SPEED BY THE SECOND AND COULD NOT MAKE IT OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE DUE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC, SO I WAS LUCKY AND FOUND A SMALL LEFT SHOULD TO PULL OVER ON. IF THERE WAS NO LEFT SHOULDER, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD HAVE BEEN. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER/SERVICE SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY(ETB) WHICH FAILED. FORD REPLACED THE ETB, BUT STATED THE REPLACEMENT ETB WAS THE SAME AS THE ONE WHICH FAILED. THERE WAS NO REASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEMATIC ETB WAS BEING REPLACED WITH A MORE DURABLE SOLUTION. THE FORD SERVICE SHOP MENTIONED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE IN 2015 & 2016 FORD EXPLORERS, BUT THERE IS NO OFFICIAL RECALL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN, I WAS DISTURBED TO FIND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY RECENT ETB FAILURES ON FORD EXPLORERS. CONSIDERING THIS ISSUE RELATES DIRECTLY TO THE ABILITY OF THE DRIVER TO ACCELERATE, IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE DRIVER LOSES THE ABILITY TO MOVE OFF THE ROAD, THERE MANY ACCIDENTS WAITING TO HAPPEN.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET GOING 35 MPH, VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED TO 5MPH EVEN THOUGH I HAD FOOT ON PEDAL. IT WAS BARELY ROLLING. WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON (WHICH I FOUND LATER MEANS PROBLEM WITH DRIVE TRAIN, TAKE TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. )ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO ROLL TO SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN DOWN STREET AND GO INTO A PARKING LOT. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTED IT. WRENCH LIGHT GONE BUT ENGINE LIGHT STILL ON. DROVE AROUND PARKING LOT AND IT RAN NORMALLY.I SINCE HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. SOME OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM ON FREEWAY DOING 60 MPH. TOOK VEHICLE TO FRONTIER FORD WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THEY REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN. IT IS CURRENTLY WAITING TO BE LOOKED AT IN SERVICE DEPT. BUT MY HUGE POINT IS THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. FORD DOESN'T WANT TO SEEM TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE RECALLED. WE WERE NOT EVEN OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE. "WE DON'T DO LOANERS IF YOU DIDN'T BUY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (WHICH IS ANOTHER SCAM) OBVIOUSLY THEY DO NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND PEOPLE WILL DIE. IF THIS HAPPENS ON FREEWAY WHERE I LIVE IN SAN JOSE CALIFORNIA, THEY WILL DEFINITELY BE IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS THE WAY PEOPLE DRIVE HERE.WILL NEVER BUY A FORD AGAIN. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT. THERE ARE ONLY 7305 MILES ON VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING ALONG BUSY ROAD MAKING A LEFT TURN AT RUSH HOUR ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC. CAR SIMPLY DIED. NO RESPONSE TO ACCELERATOR. WRENCH LIGHT ON. I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT BADLY. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. WAS TOLD THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE BODY AND FORD IS AWARE OF THIS. CAR HAS LESS THAN 5100 MILES ON IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL SITUATION.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM OCEAN CITY, & WAS SLOWING DOWN AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN A WRENCH LIT UP ON MY DASH & I TOTALLY LOST ALL ACCELERATION. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AND COULD HARDLY MOVE. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE & WAS ABLE TO DRIFT SLOWLY OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A GAS STATION. I LIVE 2 1/2 HOURS FROM WHERE THIS HAPPENED & IT WAS A SATURDAY NIGHT, AND NOTHING WAS OPEN. I TOOK MANUAL OUT AND FOUND THE 24 HR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE NUMBER, WHICH THEY WERE ABLE TO GET A TOW TRUCK FOR ME. AND I HAD PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE 24 HOUR HELP LINE COULD NOT ADVISE ME ON ANYTHING, JUST TO CALL MY DEALER IN THE MORNING, WHICH THE NEXT DAY WAS SUNDAY, AND NO ONE WAS OPEN TIL MONDAY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME & TOWED MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALER, WHICH IS STILL 125 MILES FROM HOME. RECEIVED A CALL MONDAY, 6/13, THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY THAT NEEDS REPLACED, BUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND NO IDEA ON WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN, BUT THEY PUT A RUSH ON IT. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD PICK UP MY TRUCK, BUT THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN? WHY WOULD I DRIVE IT KNOWING THAT I COULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING IT AGAIN? NEXT TIME I MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY AND BE ABLE TO SAFELY GET OFF THE ROAD. ....... NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVE A RENTAL CAR, WHICH FORD IS PAYING FOR AND HAVE NO IDEA ON WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED, AS THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING ME WITH AN ESTIMATED REPAIR COMPLETION DATE AT THIS TIME. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BREAKING DOWN, MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS

WHILE IN MOTION AT 40 MPH THE VEHICLE SLOWED TO 10 MPH SUDDENLY. THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT FUNCTIONING AND WOULD NOT REV. FORD TOWED CAR TO DEALER. THE DEALER QUICKLY AGREED IT WAS THE FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THESE ARE IN DEMAND DUE TO THE ISSUES AND ARE ON BACKORDER. MORE IMPORTANTLY, A RECALL IS NEEDED AS THIS COULD BE DEADLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS - GOING FROM 70 MPH TO 15 MPH AS OTHERS HAVE DESCRIBED. AND WILL THE REPLACEMENT THROTTLE BODIES BE ANY DIFFERENT. WEBSITES INDICATE THE FAILURE TAKES PLACE AT AN AVERAGE MILEAGE OF 8100 ON THE 2016 MODELS. FORD IS AWARE AND ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED FOR THE CONSUMERS PROTECTION.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH AND MY CAR JUST LOST ALL POWER. A WRENCH CAME ON AND SAID SEE OWNERS MANUAL. IT HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN THE DAY. SO SCARY FOR YOUR CAR TO JUST LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AND IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTION, WHICH APPARENTLY, FORD IS AWARE OF. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL?! ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE?
