The consumer requested reimbursement for the two sway bars that were replaced prior to recall notice 00v‑402. Nlm
I don't know that the temperature gauge has ever worked correctly in this car - I just guessed dates and mileage, but I have had the car since 1997 (32,000 miles) and it has never worked correctly. This is my second ford explorer with this problem. Furthermore, I recently spoke with a friend who had the same problem in his 1997 ford explorer. I do not think this problem is being reported because it is not obvious when the temperature gauge fails.
The engine failed while driving, the piston was shot, an engine gasket was cracked and blue smoke was coming out of the tail pipe, engine belt cracked. Nlm
Vehicle stalls intermittently, mostly in hot weather.
While driving at 55mph a pop was heard, like a gun. Heard something hitting underneath vehicle. Was making a ding, ding noise. Was in moderate speed lane, steering, when left front corner nose dived. Was not handling right. Managed to drive to friend's parking lot & checked vehicle. Noticed connector bolt had snapped, but not separated. 2nd time while vehicle was jacked up after the 1st repair connector snapped again. Was in a plastic casing. Took to ford & both bolts were replaced. Have the originial parts.
Engine idles rough, stalls. Dealer not able to determine the cause.

Engine stalls when letting off gas in traffic or ideling when outside temperatures are 90 degrees or above. The engine is not registering it being overheated nor is there a need for additional water in the radiator. All of these have been checked.
While driving about any speed on a hot day vehicle could stall without a prior warning.
Vehicle stalls at traffic lights/ stop signs and in the middle of traffic.
Engine stalls after driving in warm weather, consumer believes it might be a vapor lock problem.
While driving at 50mph on the highway engine shut completely down. Dealer has had vehicle for over 50 days and could find no solution.
After starting, and usually within a few minutes after being run, the engine will stall, such as when I leave my house, drive two miles to the coffee shop,. It does not seem to stall after being run say , for a prolonged period of time. Its the first 5-10 minutes. Took to local dealer, he said it needed a tune up, and did a tune up. Veh. Still has problem. Will stall on warm, cool, or cold days. Temp. Does not seem to be a factor.
The temperature guage stopped working 12/98. The dealership was asked to look at it shortly thereafter. They said it was nothing to worry about...probably something in the wiring of the guage, and it may be expensive to find it. Several months later when the check engine light came on, the dealership replaced the thermostat. The temperature guage immediately began working. We could have encountered a number of serious problems (such as overheating in texas in the summer), but the dealership didn't catch it. Then, our lock actuator went out. Because it was a rear door, the dealership said the manufacturer's warranty didn't cover it. We paid $188.16 to fix it in addition to the extended warranty. If the dealer's warranty covers the front doors, it should cover the rear doors. This makes no sense and cost us a lot of money out of our pockets! We only have 65,000 miles on our car.
Vehicle stalls at various speeds(12times so far). Two dealers do not know what the problem is.
Torque converter failed. Nlm
Possible design flaw caused engine to fail, resulting in fire.
O/d light indicator came on, pulled over and parked vehicle, it wouldn't go into park or reverse, turned off engine, tried to turn engine back on and couldn't engine light came on, had to leave key in ignition, this happened on sat. Will contact dealer on monday, april l2, l999
My concern is that everytime we take our explorer on a road trip we get a check engine light. It will come on at the first 200 miles of the trip. I've pulled over everytime it has happened and checked all the services on it. I always found everything is where it should be. When we have departed from every stop to fill up. The light comes back on right at 2mi. I took the vehicle in to have the computer checked for codes. Everytime they say it's the intake
The transmission is currently being rebuilt. A defective part allowed transmission fluid to leak into the radiator, and radiator fluid to leak into the transmission. The radiator must be replaced, and the transmission rebuilt. I only have less than 72,000 miles on the vehicle. I did not purchase the extended warranty when I purchased the vehicle because at a cost of over $22,000, I did not think anything should go wrong with the vehicle. I would like ford to pay for my auto repairs, and a recall to go into effect so that others with this car do not have to go through the same experience. 100,000 miles is not unreasonable to expect a car's major components to last.
Whenever turning corners the vehicle would die out or cut off. When vehicle is at dealer's & test driven, the problem cannot be duplicated. The problem can occur often. Vehicle has cut off & then later restarted.
