Description of the problem	I own a 2006 ford explorer, in 2009, the vehicle stalled out 3x while driving on the highway in massachusetts. My mechanic after reviewing the vehicle discovered that the vehicle had 2 corroded sensors within the wiring harness of the vehicle. After repairing the sensors within the harness, my mechanic stated that the harness system was defective and that the stalling or other system failure would happen in the vehicle again. The recommendation was that i should pursue ford to replace the wiring harness in the vehicle due to the safety ramifications of the defective harness. I took my complaint to ford motor company and my vehicle was inspected by their service technicians and the harness was reviewed by their area manager of northeast dealerships. Ford reported that they would replace the harness but would offer little re-imbursement to me as the vehicle is out of warranty. I was requesting that ford replace the faulty harness free of cost to me as it was a major safety issue. Ford disagreed and would not move forward with any additional resolution. In the last year- i have had the vehicle as i cannot afford replacement due to employment layoffs- the vehicle has stalled repeatedly; on highways, suburban and urban roadways, all putting myself and family in harm's way. I recently contacted ford again wanting a wiring harness replacement- ford's answer was the same as it was in 2009, they would not replace the harness unless i pay for the majority of the work. I believe that this issue is a major safety issue that ford should correct. I am now becoming fearful that if not corrected soon, that it will cause harm to myself and family.
