2001 Ford Explorer engine complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 46 of 46, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When air conditioning is on vehicle stalls without prior warning . Dealership is aware of problem.
The heater/coolant hose in the left side engine compartment is rubbing against the dipstick, wearing through the hose and potentially spraying very hot coolant under the hood.
This is not the only problem I have tried to return to be repaired on this vehicle. I have also been subjected to the most unethical behavior I've ever seen, from this dealership, in the purchase and repair procedures.no safety defect listed.
Ihave lost controll of this vehicle several times due to the steering and overall handling ,my tires are also playing a roll in this I beleave this problem is much more pronounced in rain or snow . I feel this vehicle is very unsafe for myself and my children! I've already had the vehicle into auburn motor sales for 6 days for complaints of lack&surge of power,bad sulfer smell at idle rolling idle(up&down), extremely poor gas mileage. The dealership was unable to diognose problem. As of today I've lost 21 days of use ,on a vehicle I've only had about4 and a half months know they say I need an engine that I'm still waiting on. I told the dealership I didn't feel this vehicle was safe and wanted it replaced .I got know where, when they found out I got lemon law paperwork they told me ford would not do anything about it pursue it through the state. I don't see how they can tell you that you are stuck when you purchased a new vehicle and it has compromised your safety time&time again! My salesman told me to look at the bright side I was still here to talk about it!!! I don't find this very amusing ,I wonder if ford knows how he feels in my opinion he was telling me I could of been dead!!! Brenda. *ak (tiresize: 255/70/16)( dot number: tire size: 255/70/16 )
World ford has done nothing but give me a run around and not fixing my truck right!!! I have nothing but agrevation with my truck and I dont feel that it's safe with driving my children in it! When advising the dealership of the trucks major complications they advise me to bring the vehicle back in 30-60 days to aviod the lemon law! No safety defect listed.
