About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
This vehicle was the replacement for the 1997 model with the same problem that Ford insisted did not exist 2yrs. Ago. They have now acknowledged a problem with the fuel pump that we feel very strongly is a safety isssue. They have also informed us that there are other Explorer in the state of Colorado that have the same problem. We feel that Ford is deliberately trying to minimize this problem. Vehicle "cuts out/stalls" upon accelleration which by definition of the NHTSA is a safety defect!! we filled a report on our 1997 vehicle in January of 1998. Please see NHTSA ref. #523114.
