Description of the problem	Over the last 18 months with my explorer i have had it die on me 4 times and had to get it towed to the dealer. 4 times they have told me that it was some sort of component in the throttle body that is causing it to die. It has died twice on me on the highway while doing 65 mph. This is not acceptable. The last time it happened was on thursday april 15th. I brought it to the dealership and yet again they said it was a sensor in there and for the 4th time the replaced a component of this instead of the whole thing. They can not guarantee that this will fix it which is very disconcerting to me. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. I do not go above 45 mph because i do not want it to die on my on the highway again. That was extremely scary. Something needs to be done before anyone else has to go thru what i (and based on the online comments many other people have gone thru). Ford has a problem with the 2006 explorers and something needs to be done.
