problem #3

2009Jan 06

Explorer 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 40,000 miles

i had the same problem since January. my engine shakes, hesitant, engine revves while driving, engine lite on & off, constant misfire...

I've had the spark plugs coil pack & wires exchanged out constantly. i've had the transmission flushed, radiator checked, new fuel filter, etc.

i've been back and forth to my mechanic to the point they advised to go to the dealer. The dealer kept my car for 2 days and said they were unable to determine the misfires... finally said it was bad gas and i needed to clean my tank. The problem still exists.

Now the car shakes when accelerating ( of course never when it is around a mechanic) and it will accelerate up to 60 mph without touching the gas pedal. I have to drive down the street riding the brake. Oh yeah, and when it gets tired of doing that it stalls out again!

It is definitely annoying when a brand new vehicle with the improved technology gives you this feeling of dissatisfaction and you are told there is no solution for that you've got to live with it as the mechanics have no solutions for it. Until the factory engineers come up with a solution with its programming no one can do any thing about it. SORRY GUYS you've got to live with it.
