2002 FORD EXPLORER Complaints

MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN I STOP AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. I GOT A CODE READING, THERE WERE MANY FUEL EJECTION ISSUES. I GOT A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TODAY, AND WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE FUEL PUMP. WHEN I PUT GAS IN, THE GAS PUMP GETS STUCK INSIDE SOMETIMES. DOES NOT COME OUT SMOOTHLY. WHAT IS GOING ON? *TR

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT BETWEEN GEARS IN MY 2002 FORD EXPLORER RESULTING IN MY BEING UNABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE AT RUSH HOUR. *TR

I GOT A KNOCK ON MY DOOR BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME THAT MY CAR SET ON FIRE I FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE AND THEY TOLD ME TO FILE A CLAIM WITH FORD BECAUSE THEY HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE IT WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON THAT SET THE CAR ON FIRE . *TR

PARKED ON HILL OR FLAT GROUND IT HAPPEN BEFORE,BUT THE GEAR SHIFT GETS STUCK. YOU CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL RIGHT,LEFT TO GET IT TO UNLOCK BUT IT WANT, NO LOCKED BRAKES.BUT I KEPT ON TRYING TO GET MY TRUCK IN GEAR TO POINT OF DOING DANGERS THINGS AS OF STICKING ONE FOOT OUT OF THE DOOR AND ROCKING IT BACK AND FORTH.TO GET THE LOCK TO BRAKE BUT THAT DID NOT WORK THEN I TRIED AGAIN AND THE GEAR SHIFT BROKE A ALUMINUM PART ON THE INSIDE BROKE AND I HAVE SAW THREE MORE LIKE THIS AND SOME MORE REPORTS OF THIS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN SAID OR DONE ABOUT THIS,THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. *TR

IN 2009 ON THE WAY TO OUR FAMILY VACATION OUR TRANSMISSION FAILED. WE HAD IT TOWED AND THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH A FORD REBUILT TRANSMISSION WITH A WARRANTY PURCHASE. IN 2012 THIS REBUILT TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WE HAD IT TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER AND THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED WITH ANOTHER TRANSMISSION. THIS CURRENT TRANSMISSION IS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE LAST TWO DID PRIOR TO FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD "BUMP" AND THEN I LOST ALL ACCELERATION. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO ALL OF THE SUDDEN LOSE A TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE TRANSMISSION OF THIS YEAR OF VEHICLE, SO THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM. TRANSMISSIONS ARE NOT CHEAP BY ANY MEANS, I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GOING TO GET THE MONEY TO FIX MINE. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO VEHICLE AND HAVE HAD TO RESORT TO BUMMING RIDES FROM PEOPLE JUST TO GET TO WORK. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!!! *TR

REAR ENDED SEMI THAT SUDDENLY STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. DRIVER'S AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY BUT PASSENGER AIR BAG DID . NO PASSENGER IN CAR. BASICALLY DRIVER AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN IT SHOULD. FORD SHOULD PAY! IS THERE ANY CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FOR THIS? FIRST ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE. OWNED SINCE 2003! *TR

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUOUSLY PUMP A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT TAKES ROUGHLY 25 MINUTES TO GET A FULL TANK. *TR
