Our vehicle was in park in our driveway and rolled down to the street. The front wheels were on dry pavement and the rear on soft ice (it was 52 degrees outside at the time of the incident). The car rolled slowly backward down the driveway and was caught on our security camera doing so. I brought the car to Ford (autofair of haverhill) and they have had the car for several weeks. They have no been able to determine was the issue is although they have admitted to me that there must be something wrong with the car. Ford corporate however has told them there is nothing wrong with the car and that it must have simply slid down the ice. This is not possible and the service manager at autofair Ford also indicated that this was not possible. I can see that videos are unable to be uploaded here but I am happy to send the video of the car rolling with the tires visibly spinning, not sliding, down ice. Consumer stated buy back was denied.

I was traveling on a two lane country road, there was about one inch of fresh snow on the road. I was driving 20mph. I came to an S curve that I was familiar with. I slowed to 10mph. I began my turn to the right, I lost all steering, was fighting with the wheel, then slid into a guard rail. Body damage was mild/moderate. However steering was out at that point. I received a flurry of error messages hill start assist not available / reverse brake assist not available / pre-collision assist not available / service advance trac. I notified both my insurance and Ford Motor Company. I towed it home myself. Then it was towed from my home to the dealer.

Tried to start the car and would not start. The screen on dash board went crazy and everything was flashing. Head lamps came on and air blower for heat came on high automatically. Seemed like some kind of electrical problem. The dash was flashing everything and would not start the car. Waiting for the tow truck for 2 hours and I tried again and it started just fine. Brought the car home but can not duplicated the problem. There is something wrong with it. I take 5 boys for football practice and don't want this car to let me and those boys sitting in the dark..this is why I bought a new car so it would be more dependable. It would not allow me to start it and the whole dash was going crazy and flashing many things. Hope this helps.

Total electrical shutdown when stopped at turn lane of 6 lane hwy intersection. Reportedly due to low transmission fluid automatic shut-down. Vehicle was recall buy-back repair to transmission cooler failed to correct leaking line connections. No warning. Shuts down all power to all systems. No warning flasher. No window power; no door lock controls. Reset after 30 min. Stranded in center turn lane; could not open windows, rear hatch, or doors. Had disabled wife & 3 dogs in 95 deg. Temps. Inside car 115 deg. Plus. Computer protects drive trane over life & safety! when it reset after 30 min. Engine check light came on. No actual message. No way to check transmission fluid levels! no option to add fluid. Only dealer service option to check or remedy. This is unacceptable. I figured by-pass by turning transmission to park before each full stop. Kept running for 300 miles on return home to safety. Error message is appropriate. Safety over-ride is appropriate with warning signal like no seat-belt alarm. Shut-down of all systems is absurd response to low fluid levels. Add means to read fluid levels, mech. Or electronically. Add method to restore fluids w/O dealer service. My company owns 2 Ford Explorer & former Ford vehicles.

2020 Ford Explorer have an issue with the pre-collision assist, which overrides the electrical system and effectively disables the vehicle. This happened to me numerous times while driving on a highway. The vehicle then puts itself into a safe mode, which prevents accelerating and is extremely dangerous to operate. Ford acknowledged that this issue has been occurring, but their system techs at Ford hq have not looked into the issue.
