The gas pedal on this explorer is a big concern. We never let someone borrow the car without explaining this to them. You can NEVER get the car to move forward slowly. The gas pedal is so sensitive. We think the problem is this: you depress the gas pedal a little, it doesn't respond immediately, you naturally press a little harder, and suddenly you are burning rubber. We have three drivers in our family and even knowing about this problem, we often lurch forward and peel out from a stop sign. It's ridiculous!
