problem #2

Aug 032007

Explorer 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles
My 2002 Ford Explorer had a failed tube mounted "differential pressue feedback from egr" (dpfe) sensor after 30K miles. Ford created a technical service bulletin (tsb) regarding this know issue affecting several 2000-2003 Ford models including the 2002 Explorer (see Ford tsb 04-11-1 May 25, 2004 ). however, when Ford turned this issue of the faulty dpfe sensor into a recall, or "field service action" (fsa) as they call it, they did not include the 2002 Ford Explorer in the dpfe recall. All vehicles included in fsa 02M01 were given an extended 2yr/24K mile warranty on the dpfe sensor. The 2002 Explorer was not included in this extended warranty despite the fact that the 2002 Explorer was included in the original tsb on this issue and the fact that the 2002 Explorer was know to use the same tube mounted differential pressure sensor as all the vehicles included in the recall. See fsa 02M01

Explorer 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,020 miles
There is Ford tsb 02M01 and ntsb 10007207 for replacement of the egr sensor on 2002 Ford Explorer. The Explorer needed that sensor replaced, but the warranty claim was denied although my vehicle fell within age and mileage guidlines. I would like Ford to compensate me for the cost of the repair.
