problem #1

Mar 012010

Explorer 8-cyl

  • 22,000 miles
This issue is one where a dangerous situation occurs without warning and has not been repeatable on demand. Normally, this occurs on flat, dry, paved road at speed of under 30mph. The "traction control" light on the dash comes on, the brakes begin to hammer, making the pedal unresponsive, and the steering becomes very hard to move, pulling the vehicle to the right. After the vehicle comes to a stop (of almost to a stop)... pressing and holding the "traction control" light/button resolves the problem, at least until the next occurrence, which could be days, weeks or months later. Visits to various Ford Motor Company dealerships have resulted in "nothing found" -- they always say that the problem didn't happen while they had the car and that no codes were found in any of the car's systems. As of today, the car is at joe myers Ford, houston, tx where this same scenario has played out.
