ISSUE. HARD JERKS/CLUNKS WHILE SHIFTING INTO REVERSE AND THEM FORWARD. ALSO FEELS AS IF YOUR ARE BEING HIT IN BUMPER AS YOU ARE STOPPING WHILE TRANSMISSION IS DOWN SHIFTING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH SO MANY 2006 EXPLORERS, PLEASE LOOK INTO A RECALL AS THIS A DEFECT WITH THE FORD MODEL. ALSO WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR PARTS AND LABOR! FAILURE AT MILEAGE OF 81,800. TOO EARLY TO DIE WITH THIS MILEAGE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD EXPLORER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHILE REFUELING, FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE AS GASOLINE OVERFLOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, SENSORS AND TUBES. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND LATER RECURRED. THE FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,000. UPDATED 8/19/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED SHE HAS BEEN TWO SEVERAL DEALERS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. UPDATED 09/05/13

THEE HAVE BEEN ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM DATING BACK TO 2009 FUEL SYSTEM SOLENOID AND VENT. IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED AT LEAST THREE TO FOUR TIMES FOR THE EXACT SAME REPAIR AND THE SAME PARTS EVERY TIME. THE FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT ALLOW THE GAS TANK TO BE FILLED AT A NORMAL RATE. IT TAKES AS LONG AS 45 SECONDS SOMETIMES TO PUT ONE (1) GALLON OF GAS IN THE TANK. IT CAN TAKE WELL OVER 10 MINUTES TO FILL THE GAS TANK SOMETIMES. I HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AT FORD AND THEY HAVE BEEN OF NO ASSISTANCE WHATSOEVER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE STARTED COMING INTO THE CAR. MY FIANCE' CHECKED THE RADIATOR AND OVERFLOW BOTTLE AND FOUND OUT IT WAS GAS MIXED WITH THE ANTIFREEZE. MY CAR'S MILEAGE IS 80100. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CAR SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE AT ONLY 5 YEARS. THIS PROBLEM/COMPLAINT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND DAMAGES SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER. *TR

I OWN A 2006 FORD EXPLORER. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCE A FAILURE ON THE FUEL FILL SYSTEM IN 2008. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PUT MORE THAN A GALLON OF GAS IN AT A TIME, WAIT FOR AWHILE, ADD ANOTHER GALLON, ETC AS THE FUEL FILL WOULD ACT AS THOUGH THE TANK WAS FULL. TOOK TO A DEALER AND HAD IT REPLACED BASED ON TSB#07253. EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AGAIN NOW IN 2011 AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD SINCE IT WAS MORE THAN 12 MONTHS SINCE THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT I HAD TO PAY THE DEDUCTIBLE AGAIN TO HAVE THE WORK DONE. *TR

VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCEPT FUEL WHEN FILLING UP AT PUMP. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE OF A DIRTY EMISSION CANISTER. THE CANISTER WAS REPLACED 03/18/2011 AND THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED 03/19/2011. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A FORD PROBLEM AND NOT MINE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT GOT DIRTY BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY SNOW WE RECEIVED THIS PAST WINTER. I'M CURIOUS, DON'T THEY SELL THESE CARS UP NORTH WHERE IT SNOWS HEAVY EVERY YEAR? HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE WILL BE LOOKED INTO SOON.
