problem #1

Explorer 4WD

I have experienced several "no starts" with my vehicle. I was informed by a Firestone dealer when I had my tires replaced that he has witness similiar incidents with other Ford Explorer's. the Firestone dealer stated that there is a problem in the fuel delivery or ignition system which causes the vehicle to flood itself at times when the ignition key is turned. I am very concerned if this is the case. The dealership where I purchased the vehicle has made three unsuccessful attempts to correct the problem. I am currently in arbitration. I know one other person who purchased a 2000 Ford Explorer from the same dealer and has had this same problem. The dealership is replacing his fuel pump as they have done in my vehicle; however, this did not correct my problem.
