2007 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC Complaints

WHEN APPLYING BRAKE, THE PEDAL DEPRESSES TOO FAR AND IF MY FOOT IS NOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE GAS PEDAL ENOUGH, BOTH THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE GET DEPRESSED TOGETHER CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2007 FORD EXPLORER SPORT-TRAC WITH A HEATED WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A WIRE MESH IN IT. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT LIGHTS FROM ON COMING CARS PRODUCE A BAD GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. TO DATE FORD HAS REFUSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

BRAND NEW FORD ESCAPE HYBRID 2007 YEAR WITH 2000 MILES ON IT. WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 6 AM AND HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC AT THAT TIME OF DAY OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR TOWED TO DEALER LATER THAT MORNING. BRAKES WORKED FINE, NO LIGHT ON. THEY EXAMINED THE COMPUTER RECORDS FROM THE CAR AND IT DID INDICATE A COMPUTER FAILURE. FORD IS REPLACING THAT PART BUT WE ARE VERY CONCERNED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, AND VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING RECALL-SCALE ISSUE ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTED ROUGHLY INTO SECOND GEAR. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN EITHER THE SECOND ROW PASSENGER WINDOW WAS OPEN WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A LOUD WIND VIBRATION THAT CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. IT WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DUPLICATED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT CAUSE. ALSO, THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT WAS THE WAY THE WINDOWS WERE DESIGNED, AND IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTED, IT WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO OPEN THE WINDOWS WHILE DRIVING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALERTED.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF DURING SLOWING FOR TURN OR STOP CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT REPAIR AND CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. DEALER DOES NOT TAKE THE PROBLEM SERIOUSLY. I BELONG TO A SPORT TRAC CLUB AND OTHER 2007 SPORT TRACS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. *NM

I HAVE A HEATED WINDSHIELD WITH LITTLE LINES THROUGH IT. I AM EXPERIENCING A MAJOR AMOUNT OF HEADLIGHT AND TAIL LIGHT GLARE. I WAS TOLD TO CLEAN IT WITH VINEGAR WITH NO RESULTS. YELLOW LENS, NO HELP. ARS EYEGLASS COATING NO HELP. I DON'T WEAR GLASSES. I HAVE NO PROBLEMS IN MY HUSBANDS VEHICLE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK INTO THIS. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY CAN'T PUT A PLAIN WINDSHIELD IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO WIRING. I NEED HELP....I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. *JB

SIDE IMPACT ON DRIVERS DOOR @ 20 MPH, SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY; YET ALL AIRBAGS ON THE VEHICLE(CONCORDE) HITTING ME DEPLOYED. FORD SAY NOTHING IS WRONG....*NM
