| 2002 | STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS | NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 04V442000; FORD ISSUED A REAR LIFTGATE RECALL. THIS VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER. AS A RESULT, THE LIFTGATE BROKE. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BY OWNER. |
| 1999 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL | I HAVE A 99 FORD EXPLORER 4WD, EDDIE BAUER EDITION. FROM TIME TO TIME, THE THROTTLE WILL STICK , ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS COLD. I CAN'T REPLICATE THE STICK RELIABLY. WHEN IT STICKS, I HAVE TO PRESS EXTRA HARD ON THE THROTTLE, RESULTED BURST ACCELERATION THAT COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TO BE EXTRA CAREFUL WHEN THAT HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING INTO MY GARAGE, WHICH I ALWAYS AFRAID THAT MY EXPLORER WOULD RUN INTO THE WALL. CONTACTED FORD DEALER TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY RECALL, THEY SAID THEY WANTED $99 FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC BUT NO GUARANTEE. FORD SAID THEY HAD SIMILAR CASE, BUT IT WAS ON OTHER MODELS AND NOT WILLING TO GO FURTHER UNLESS I PAY THE $99.95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. LIKE I MENTIONED BEFORE, I CAN'T REPLICATE THE STICKING THROTTLE RELIABLY, THEREFORE THE $99 DIAGNOSTIC FEE WILL GO TO WASTE BECAUSE THE FORD DEALER WOULD SURE TELL ME THERE'S NO PROBLEM WITH THROTTLE. PLEASE LET ME/US (FORD EXPLORER DRIVER) KNOW IF YOU HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FILED IN YOUR DATABASE AND WHAT ACTIONS YOU ARE TAKING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *JB |
