2006 Ford EXPLORER Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	871505
Internal NHTSA #	10415114
Manufacurer	FORD MOTOR COMPANY

Model Year	2006
File date	25/07/11
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The wrench, the abs, and the anti-sway icons started coming on intermittently on my 2006 explorer. They would reset immediately using the reset button. The dealer replaced a wheel-speed sensor and stated that the sensor was damaged when the "tone" wheel cracked. Dealer also stated that unless the tone wheel was replaced, the abs was not operational. Seems like this is a major safety concern; if you think you have abs, but don't the driver is set up for the big fall! Ford is aware of this cracking problem: why no recall?

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.
