Explorer Sport Trac

  • Automatic transmission
  • 16,240 miles
While driving 65 and attempting to pass another vehicle consumer's vehicle failed to go into passing gear. Engine stalled and consumer had to coast to the side of the highway. Once off the road consumer restarted the vehicle and continued driving. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but the technician couldn't find anything wrong. The vehicle was taken back tot he dealer where they replaced the fuel pump, gas tank and air flow sensor. So far the vehicle has been running as it should. The heat shield under the vehicle rattled. The dealer adjusted it. The multifunction switch would not lock in place when using the turn signals.
