This is my 2nd Ford that has had a problem with an electric throttle body. Ford fixed the problem in my 2012 Ford fusion but my 2010 doesn't fall in the same category. I am driving with no problems then out of nowhere the wrench and check engine light comes on while loosing accretion. I am scared to death driving this vehicle. I have lost power in intersections, going up a bridge, in traffic, and coming off an onramp. I am going to be stuck paying for repairs.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The contact stated that the driver seat track had become defective causing the seat to move back and forth while driving. The contact had the seat track replaced by an independent mechanic; however, the failure returned soon after repair. The contact then took the vehicle to a local dealer where he was given an estimate for the repair of another seat track. The dealer also informed him that they could not guarantee that the repair would fix the failure. The contact was then referred to NHTSA for assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000.

Purchased vehicle 09/03/2010. Driver and front passenger head rests are angled forward causing head to be titled forward and downward. Causing severe neck and back pain. No replacements found. Ford motor company emailed. *tr

While in the carpool lane of freeway this truck without warning shut down power/speed and turned off with a wrench light coming on. The second time it did this on the freeway in the middle lane the throttle body was replaced. On 05/19/2011 it did it again in the fast lane of the freeway and went to two dealers who said they can't "replicate" the problem so they can't just try fixing everything it could be. The dealer refuses to stand behind the product he sold. He said," he couldn't help that Ford made a bad car". It is sitting at the dealers service area because I feel it would be negligent of me to put this truck on the road. Why it hasn't caused an accident I don't know.

The transmission will not upshift from low gear, from take off for awhile and give me the wrench sign, also will cut off the cruse control if being used or will not allow me to use it. After taking the vehicle to a transmission shop it was diagnosed to a faulty speed sensor, and was told that Ford put out a safety recall on this problem because the speed sensor has down shifted to low at highway speeds locking the rear drive up and causing accidents. I have check my vehicle recalls and did not find this recall on this. I have investigated this on the internet and found that there was indeed a recall on this problem. Why would my vehicle not be recalled to replace this defective speed sensor? Before a major accident happens.

Transmission will slipping out of gear, will not go into drive, takes time going into drive and reverse.

My complaint is not with the seat belt. Please refer me to the right department. Took my 2010 Ford explorer sport trac to dealership for full service. After got my truck back the engine light on my dash came on. Took vehicle back to dealership they worked on the PCM & EGR when they take it for a test drive the light is off but then comes back on for 7 seconds. They say the engine is good just don't know why the light comes on. They have been working on it since april 25, 2018 they've had it for 6 weeks. Please tell me what I can do

I bought the truck new in may 2010. I had all the scheduled dealer maintenance completed as scheduled and the vehicle has never been off road. The four wheel drive has been engaged twice, and the majority of the miles have been on the highway. Thirty miles from ft leonard wood the transmission began slipping. The vehicle was sluggish when accelerating from a stopped position causing a hazard in city driving or merging onto the interstate. The vibration increased on the highway at speeds above 50 MPH making it difficult to steer. When I arrived at my destination, I dropped it at the dealership the next day for service. The service representative called and informed two maintenance lights were on for engine and transmission service. I agreed to move forward with the scheduled maintenance. Th

2010 Ford sport trac sudden acceleration. Twice. Sept 2, 2010 I rolled to a stop at a stop sign and lightly applied the brake. The engine began to rev as if it were in neutral. The engine engaged and the car lurched forward twice. I turned off the key. October 11, 2010 I rolled to a stop at a stoplight and applied the brake. The engine began to rev as if in neutral then the engine engaged and the car lurched forward twice. I had people in the vehicle with me and the car in front of me moved into the intersection on the red light to avoid being rear-ended. The dealership could find nothing wrong with it. Several mechanics were listening to my description and said it sounded like a throttle over-ride. *tr

Radiator leaking coolant intermittently. Noticed that the radiator was leaking at the bottom, on the passenger side. After inspecting the problem I determined that the radiator was leaking from the top. I had my mechanic look at it but was unable to locate the leak (the mechanic replaced the radiator cap). The radiator does not leak constantly, making it difficult to determine the problem. This seem to be a common problem with these vehicles. Please issue a recall. *tr

I have a 2010 Ford explorer sport trac with approximately 26000 miles. I was driving down the interstate and I saw smoke coming from between the cab and the bed. I pulled off the freeway, onto an exit ramp to a frontage road. I called 911. Before the fire department arrived, the vehicle was on fire. It is a total loss. The vehicle is now at the original Ford dealership where the vehicle was purchased. *tr

My vehicle's engine has on a number of occasions simply quit running. The engine has died while underway, and also when resuming from a stop. It will or has to this point cranked without problems each time this has happened. I've just been fortunate it hasn't quit while I'm in a driving situation that involves another vehicle in the position to crash into me as I'm restarting the engine. There is not a particular situation I can point to where it does this more. The engine has less than 120K miles and maintence is routine. OBD by certified mechanics has not shown any defective readings. I've also check on-line and found it's not just my vehicle, but others in different years are doing the same thing. There's nothing on the Ford website that addresses this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Ford explorer sport trac. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, he lost control of the vehicle, drove through a field and crashed.

I just recently purchase this used vehicle and while coming to a stop or applying the brake the vehicle accelerated instantly at the same time brake pedal was pushed. I was wearing boots at the time and the toe of the boot does stick out further then my slip on shoes. This happen twice both times while wearing boots. I tried to observe what may be the cause although I was approaching stopped vehicles at the time. I recreated the movement while parked in neutral, engine running and wearing boots. The same thing happen. What happens is the toe of my boots push the accelerator as I pushed the brake pedal and it moved down toward the accelerator pedal. It appears to be a design issue as the accelerator and brake pedal are very close to the same level. The accelerator pedal should be further do

Traveling on the nys thruway passing a car at approximately 75mph and my engine goes dead. No power or gas no power steering nothing. I manage to get to the shoulder of the road and I can smell something burning. I was towed to the nearest Ford dealership to find that my fuel pump control module and wiring harness are melted together. Scariest thing that ever happened to me.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 Ford explorer sport trac. The contact stated that when the rear windows were open and the front windows were closed, the vehicle would vibrate excessively. The dealer advised that the failure was normal. The contact believed the defect to be safety related because he was unable to drive with the front windows open due to the wind pressure. The contact stated the vibrations were so violent that the drivers seat would shake and the radio would shut down when the failure would occur. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 900 and the current mileage was 900. Updated 7/26/10 *cn updated 08/31/10*jb

When you brake with the right foot sometimes the brake pedal will go low enough so the the right foot hits the gas pedal causing the car not to stop. *tr
