This exlorer/eddie bauer was leased brand new. I have had nothing but problems beginning with the first week of having it (ie. Stalling, shutting off, engine failure, excessive wind noise, window/radio replacement, inaccurate fuel readings etc..). I have been bounced back and forth between the service and sales dept. Of the dealship. Their favorite answer to a problem is, "we are unable to duplicate consumer concern." hello!!!!, this is why you get paid the big bucks! I am not an engineer or savy with vehicle terminology. However, I think I'm smart enough to know there is a major problem here. I am a single parent who is concerned for myself and child's safety. This has been a nightmare for me and I am reaching out to whomever will listen to my concerns.
Stopped car in traffic to make a left hand turn. Vehicle would not go when gas pedal was pressed. Felt like vehicle was in neutral. Then after awhilte it lunged forward with great force. I was able to stop and avoided a collision. This time they replaced the transmission. Previously they replaced the fuel pump.
Consumer was traveling at 30mph and lost braking power. Dealer inspected vehicle & found a brake line problem. Dealer didn't have parts & they have to come off assembly line to fix it.
While turning onto a side road at night, consumer encountered another vehicle that was blocking the road with no lights on. The other driver was helping someone on the side of the road. Consumer tried to swerve and ran into the other driver's left side of the car. Consumer immediately smelled a funny smell. Got out of the car, and about minute later noticed a trickle of fire under the hood. Two minutes later, the whole car was in flames. Air bags did not deploy at impact. *ak
