No warning light when oil pump failed. This non-action led to my entire engine needing to be repaired. Mileage was at apx. 45,000. Warranty ran out, must pay on my own. I feel that ford should have some responsibility with this since my warning light did not inform me of the problem. *Nm

I have a 2002 ford explorer, I saw on the news there has been reports of iddle problems. I have noticed when I reverse at times it revs up even when my foot is not on the gas.

This problems has only lasted a few seconds then goes back to normal. I have only had the car iddle fast once on the highway and I have had a problem twice when the car is put in to reverse.

Car has a hesitation when accelerating under load. This is most noticable when the car is warm and especially when using the air conditioning. Automobile was taken to a general mechanic and they were unable to find the cause of the problem. On this date, vehicle was taken to the local dealer. The dealer indicated that there are no service bulletins regarding this issue and there were no error codes in the computer. The dealer stated that they believed this to be a characteristic of the car and it is due to the...

Car stalls when coasting or braking and coming to stop. Car also stalls when on freeway in high traffic areas. Car has been taken in 5 separate times for same problem without any resolution. Ford attempted to replace the oxygen sensor, and the emergency fuel sensor. This problem started when the car only had 2400 miles on it and has continued now, when it has been over 2 years and now has 24000 miles on it. *Ak

Entire car vibrates noticeably at idle. Dealer stated that it is characteristic of vehicle, but since there was an existing tsb on the problem, attempted a fix. (To no avail.) *Ak

2002 Ford escape stalled while going down-hill at 35-40 mph. Engine stopped. Lost power steering and brakes. Engine restarted immediately after placing in "neutral" position. Fuel tank was about 1/4 full. This is the third such event with this vehicle. The last such failure was on the same road and at exactly the same location!! Given the similarity of problems with this vehicle and the numerous other reports, I suspect there must be a problem with the computer control system or software. *La

Shaking in steering wheel. Most noticable during acceleration and deceleration. Was mentioned to salesperson at time of test drive. He stated he would have the tires balanced and an alignment done. At no time prior to purchase did anyone state it was a built in defect. When we met the service people they were told the type of vehicle being purchased and the fact we would be bringing it in for the shaking. This was intentionally dishonest. We attempted to trade in on another vehicle and the same dealership offered us $7500. This is after 3 months and 3 thousand miles for a defect they knew about. The tsb did not correct the problem.

Stalls at red lights won't idle vibration at idle shakes the whole car. Dt

PLEASE ADD MORE INFORMATION. MR

The steering wheel/column shakes and vibrates. This happens usually when the vehicle is idling. This happens every time I drive it. I have been told that it is normal, it is because the vehicle has rubber motor mounts, there is nothing wrong with it. I have had it back to the dealership 5 times and nothing has been fixed. I feel that I was mislead at the time of purchase. When I mentioned the shaking steering wheel to the salesman, he didn't say it is a characteristic of car, he said we will fix it. I would not have bought the car for $17720.00 If I had known that it would do that all the time. I would have taken that money and bought a better car or kept the one I traded in.*Ak

There was water that leaked into intake. Soon after engine failed. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything. Please provide further information. *Ak
