I was driving on a highway route on October 24, 2026 with my toddler and mother in the car. I stopped at a red light. While stopped my car lost complete power and could not be restarted (no buttons worked, lock/unlock, start button/ hazard lights etc). The police had to be contacted as even my hazard lights would not activate. The police officer and the tow truck driver attempted to start my car and failed, the car could also not be put in neutral to be towed. The car was then towed the closest ford dealer which kept my car for one full week. I was told the problem could not be duplicated and the car was returned to me with no repairs. Prior to this occurring there had been no warning lights on the dash board or otherwise. I find this unacceptable as this incident could have ended catastrophically and can happen again at any time.

What 2025 Ford Explorer owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving yesterday, I heard a loud pop sound on my roof. When I arrived home about 5 min later I checked the roof and saw no issues or visible damage. About an hour later I heard another loud sound coming from my garage. This is when I discovered that the moonroof had spontaneously shattered and cracked. There was no known impact , falling objects or anything that would explain how this happened. The fact that I heard the initial popping noise while driving and that the glass continued to fracture while the vehicle was parked raises serious concerns about a possible defect in the glass or moonroof assembly. I have since found other owner reported complaints involving spontaneous glass failures on other Ford vehicles. I'm glad that no one was in the car when the glass shattered causing serious harm.
I own a 2025 Ford Explorer Active, purchased new in April 2025. In approximately early October 2026, I noticed a significant and unexplained brightness difference between the rear taillights. The driver’s-side taillight is noticeably brighter than the passenger-side taillight when the exterior lights are illuminated. On October 19, 2026, I brought the vehicle to Ford Country in Henderson, Nevada, for diagnosis. My service advisor personally observed the difference in brightness. The technicians scanned the vehicle’s electronic systems and reportedly found no diagnostic trouble codes explaining the condition. According to the shop foreman, technicians also installed taillight assemblies from other Ford Explorers for comparison. The driver’s-side taillight remained brighter, suggesting that replacing the lamp assemblies did not correct the condition. The dealership discovered professionally installed aftermarket emergency lighting and two previously disconnected factory liftgate lighting connectors. These modifications were performed in 2025, and the remaining factory taillights appeared to operate normally for more than a year afterward. The shop foreman explained that the dealership would not continue electrical diagnostics because its technicians do not work on modified emergency-vehicle electrical systems. He did not establish that the aftermarket equipment caused the brightness difference. The vehicle is being returned without a confirmed diagnosis or repair. I am concerned that the unexplained difference in rear lighting brightness could affect the visibility or interpretation of the vehicle’s rear lighting by other motorists. The vehicle previously received an inspection under Ford recall 25C42 involving the Body Control Module C, which reportedly passed. I do not know whether that recall is related to the current condition. I am submitting this complaint to document a potential exterior lighting safety issue and request that the federal safety agency review whether similar
On October 19, 2026, I experienced a serious braking malfunction while driving my 2025 Ford Explorer ST at highway speed. While my foot was on the accelerator, the vehicle unexpectedly began braking repeatedly without me pressing the brake pedal. The vehicle jerked and pulsated as though the ABS was activating. When I attempted to brake, the pedal felt unusually loose and did not immediately respond to the pressure I applied. I eventually managed to slow down and pull onto the highway shoulder. This created a dangerous situation that put me and other motorists at risk. Multiple warnings appeared, including Anti-Lock Brake System Fault, Electronic Parking Brake, Pre-Collision Assist Not Available, and Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power. The dashboard also displayed “Park Brake Not Applied,” although I had not activated the parking brake. FordPass reported that the ABS control module was sending invalid information to other vehicle modules and that the electronic parking brake had a fault. This was the second nearly identical incident. On September 29, 2026, I experienced similar unexpected braking and difficulty controlling the brakes. The dealership diagnosed a software glitch and charged approximately $690 for a system reboot and update, which they stated was not covered under warranty. Despite that repair, the dangerous braking malfunction returned less than three weeks later. The vehicle was towed back to the Ford dealership on October 19 and is awaiting further diagnosis. I am concerned about this recurring braking malfunction and the risk of a serious collision. I request that the federal safety agency investigate this potential safety defect.
Our family safety a risk because the car seat was burning, it was smoking and I got burned.
I was driving at approximately 5mph when my car suddenly slammed on breaks. The pre collision warning popped up. There was no obstical in site. Happened approximately 30 mins ago. Had immediate pain in my shoulder, neck and head.

At approximately 17,000 miles the Explorer started misfiring, would not shift out of gear and check engine light would flash. Dealer replaced #1 spark plug. 1 week later the car misfiring occurred again, where #4 spark plug was replaced. 18,300 miles later, #1 and #3 spark plugs were replaced due to cracked spark plugs which caused misfire. All instances happened under engine load while merging onto freeway which caused a hazard due to lack of acceleration and reduced speed while getting onto freeway.
The contact owned a 2025 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while his wife was making a right turn into a resident carport, the vehicle surged forward and crashed into the house at approximately 10-15 MPH. The brake pedal was depressed during the failure. The contact was following his wife at the time and became aware that the brake pedal was being depressed. The air bags deployed on the driver's and passenger's sides, steering, curtain, and footwell. The driver sustained bruises from the air bag and seat belt. The vehicle was towed. The EMT provided medical attention at the scene. A Police report was filed but the police report number was not available. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and opened a case. The vehicle was inspected and totaled by the insurance company. The failure mileage was approximately 27,954.
I was making a left hand turn with incoming traffic. I had pleanty of time to make the turn. Next thing I know my forward pre collision alarm goes off, locks up breaks, alarms started going off. It only lasted a couple seconds, but that’s all it takes to killed.
