problem #3

Explorer Eco Boost/4wd 3.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 38,545 miles

First of all I have had this car for 1 year. I bought it because it only had 30,000 miles on it. I have had problems with the radio system going out 2 times and then all of a sudden it just jumps back on. One week ago I went to the store and got back in the car to leave and the whole computer system went crazy and the car wouldn't start, so I sat there for about 30 minutes and then all of a sudden the car starts. So I get a new battery and put it in thinking maybe there's something wrong with the battery. Well, I got in the car 3 mornings ago to go to the store and the the radio goes to audio off again. Then of all things I get in the car to leave and the whole computer system is going hay wire blinking off and on. The system is shutting down to save the battery and light are all on and this damn car won't start.

Explorer Sport V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles

2015, 30,000 miles, luckily have never had any issues prior to this morning. Drove to my mother's house to drop off my kids (about 1/2 mile away from my home). Shut off the car, and about 20 minutes later attempted to start the car. Immediately all the electrical components in my explorer started to flash and all the sensors were reporting an error. This continued to do this (and actually got worse with more intensity) until my husband disconnected the battery. Luckily, I was in a very safe spot and was not driving when this happened. I can only imagine if this happened while driving with both my little ones in car seat.

Explorer Limited V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,360 miles

The warning bells go off without stopping, turn signals don't work, headlights flash on and off, lights on dash light to warn of problems, cruise control does not work and a multitude of other problems that I am not aware of. Dealership plugged auto into the computer and it returned 39 codes. Different modules have been replaced, substituted, etc. to no avail.

The car has been in shop over two weeks. Shop acknowledges the problem but after a stated 40 hours labor the problem has not been discovered. Ford hotline from dealership has been contacted and many suggestions have been followed up in shop. I feel that the dealership is methodically going about searching out the problem. I do trust dealership to fix.

This is apparently a problem that is attributed to this car only. Not the thing you want to believe. How long does one wait and show patience before going to the next step. Better yet, if not fixed, what is the next step?
