before even trying to get it to fire and it fired on the second start. Then 1,274 miles before it occurred, this time I waited about 3 min. The first time it happened it started back up in about 5 min, I got 442 miles before it happened again. My engine is the original and everything else is working fine. Fuel pump and relay were replace in 05 & 06, can t exactly remember what the issues were at that time but definitely not this. I am having the exact issues with my 95 XLT 173,000 miles. My computer shut down just after I finished my reply so I had to retype. Lastly - depending upon your state's lemon laws - if you put it into the dealer for a number of times within a specified time period, for the same issue, and they don't fix it, the lemon law may apply and get you action. :lemon: But they are just machines, and it's a wonder they work at all, frankly. Safety is your case - and with proper documentation, you may have one. I have seen them do this before where safety is in question. They should buy the car back and replace it for you. But I think Ford is your recourse if you want to pursue it. I may get a lawyer, and sue Ford over it, if I couldn't get some attention any other way. Ford, however, is usually pretty responsive to a safety risk. The Dealer doesn't build the car, you know, so it's not their fault. IT may stop doing it, or become frequent enough to demonstrate to the dealer, who could then fix it.

IF it always restarts - I may tolerate it and see what gives. They can't fix what they can't demonstrate, if no codes are stored. If it were my car - I may just sell it and get another one, as this is a problem Ford will never be able to fix, as it won't happen predictably. I will however, weigh in with an opinion. I have a 2006 also, but have never had that problem. I am about to travel from NC to CA and hope that no serious problem occurs.I have told Ford about my travel plans and they do not care so I suppose I am a guinea pig for them The last time it happened at speed was crossing the Chesapeak Bridge in Virginai Beach which was very very scary.įord have no solution and say will not replace my car under lemon law.Apparently National Highway Traffic Safety Admin now have a total of 4 2006 reported 2006 stalling Explorers.Contact them on 1 888327 4236 if you have a similar problem. This happens at all speeds and when it does I lose power steering and it can be very scary.I have avoided 2 accidents so far.When the car comes to a halt it starts first time and I may not have another stalling incident for several hundred miles or it may happens another mile down the road. I have had discussions with Ford since and the car has been in to two dealerships in NC.They have no codes coming up and cannot replicate the problem. My 2006 Explorer started stalling with no warning at around 18000 miles in Feb 2007.
