Explorer Sport Trac 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,111 miles
I have a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac - the fuel delivery system switch seems to shut down all by itself. Once about 6 months ago when I was at a stand still in the left hand turn lane of a busy intersection and again last night while driving on the very busy 405 fwy. The truck just "shuts off" no gas, no nothing. I had one passenger injured as we were pulled over, a car went buy at a high rate of speed and knocked my friend into the side of the truck. This is a very dangerous situation. You can't drive a vehicle that will just turn itself off in "mid-stream" I could have caused a very big accident.
