Description of the problem	Vehicle just cut off one day while driving, lost power, wrench light came on. Cut the vehicle off and start it up and off you go. This problem occurs over the next year, about 2 to 3 times a month. Have taken the vehicle to the dealer, they said there was nothing they could do because the engine light was not on. Finally after several more months of the same problem happening the engine light comes on and stays on. Take it back to the dealer and give some more money to them, just for them to come to the conclusion that the throttle body needs to be replaced, and that i have a small leak in the radiator. I do not have the money to get the repairs done. I'm already making payments every month for a vehicle that won't work right. I take care of my vehicle and get all the services done on time. Currently i have close to 80,000 miles on my explorer. I have been reading that plenty of other people have experienced both the throttle body and radiator going bad, i have read that it is a known problem for the radiator and throttle body to go bad. Ford you need to recall this, and own up to this issue. Long story short this will be the last ford i purchase, and i'm thinking about getting rid of this one as quick as possible.
