3 times this has happened. I brake and it seems like I'm pressing the gas pedal and the brakes feel like they aren't stopping the vehicle. The third time put me in incoming traffic and the vehicle was totaled as it already had a rebuilt salvage title when we bought it.

The air bag light will not go off. I have checked the the wiring, cleared the area, and checked all fuses. All checked out okay. I'm a new buyer and can't register the car until it passes inspection. My only conclusion is that it possibly has a defect or has been previously been deployed. There is no record of a previous collision as of yet, although that may not be factual as the car has had a drivers door panel replaced. Can you help with the air bag information? Also, Is there a financial aid grant or some help in obtaining/repairing the problem for low or no income families? Thank you for your time in this matter. Sincerely, Kelly F. [email protected]

Rsc alarm keeps going sounding alarm and the abs alarm keeps sounding as well. Seen a ton of owners having this same error

Driving 65 mph on I95 and it just shut off. The yellow wrench on dash came on. I somehow was able to Pull over to the shoulder without being killed. I cranked once then tried it again and it started. Drove all the way home and it's running fine now. This is a common problem and Ford should be contacting me to warn me and fix it. By the way I had a baby in the car. Thanks Ford for the warning.

While driving on the highway, my Explorer did a sudden jolt and I had no control over the vehicle. It acted as though it was no in gear. I almost crashed going 60 mph on a 4 lane highway. It then did another large jolt and revved high into the red line. I took it to Firestone and they recommended that I take it to the dealership to check the transmission. I called the dealership and they advised me to drive it over. They told me it was "probably the transmission as Explorers are notarious for transmission issues."...

My vehicle has been suffering a radek transmission and power train issues and I am I am told that I will need to replace it. As well when I looked up the recall for this vehicle under general year and model it does come up that the transmission is up for recall however when I typed the particular van and at stated on your website there are no outstanding recalls again conflicting with the fact that the recalls on transmissions have been noted and noteworthy in previous c 2011 explorers such as my own. Please advise...

When I drive the abs light comes on, the break system light, engine light, and air bag light all came on at the same time and the radio will shut off along with all the dashboard lights. When I drive sometimes the car will stop catching gear and stop accelerating randomly. The vehicle fails to accelerate at all speeds. The transmission has been replaced and we were told the pcm was burnt out and unrepairable and ford has the product on back order and doesn't know when it will be available. *Tr

Truck recently start having problems, has correct amount of transmission fluid, everything. Transmission light came on car stalled, restarted the car tge car drove but acted like it was slipping, light still on, took it to mechanic... The light did not give any codes of any sort on any of their scan tools car drives fine today kind of, it "falls" out of gear when I come to a stop and kinda stutters when I begin to drive. Again there should be no reason for this unless a manufacturer defect is the cause. Correct fluid levels, clean fluid, regularly changed as scheduled in the manual. Vehicle only has 119,[redacted] miles. Ridiculous. Note the light does not even come on anymore.
