Description of the problem	I own a 2006 explorer eddie bauer with 3000 miles on it. Here is the problem, just before coming to a complete stop at stop light, stop sign or whatever, the engine revs to 1200-1500 rpms for just a brief second. I am not giving the car any gas to induce this occurrence. I have no idea why the car is doing this and neither does my local dealer. The service manager acknowledged that the car is in fact doing what i described above, but could not offer a fix. I tested another 2006 v6 explorer with 3 miles on it, to mine and the service manager surprise; it did the exact same thing as my truck. The service manager said he would look into the situation and call some of his engineer buddies to see if they could give him any information. I never heard back from him. I am also beginning to notice that i actually have to break harder to get the truck to come to a complete stop. This can not be normal, yet my ford dealer is insinuating nothing is actually wrong with the car. Longer than necessary stopping distances and will lead to unnecessary collisions. Because the ford motor company will not admit there is a problem with 2006 v6 explorers my dealer will probably do nothing to remedy the situation. I complained to ford motor company and never even received a confirmation that they received my email. I honestly believe that this is a recall situation. To my knowledge, all 2006 v6 explorers exhibit this problem of sudden acceleration, admittedly not by any stretch a powerful sudden acceleration but still it is a sudden acceleration. I am confident in my assessment because i have personally driven 2 explorers and different service rep claimed he drove yet another 06 explorer that did exactly the same thing. It seems to me that if ford has a design flaw in one of there cars they should design a fix for the problem and then repair the affected cars. *nm

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
