2006 Ford EXPLORER Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	900673
Internal NHTSA #	10442778
Manufacurer	FORD MOTOR COMPANY
Brand	FORD
Model	EXPLORER
Model Year	2006
File date	01/11/11
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle has harsh upshifts when accelerating from 1st to 4th gear, creating momentary loss of control. The vehicle will stall, then jerk forward a few inches unannounced, which has the potential of causing a wreck or hitting a pedestrian. The same will occur when shifting from drive to reverse, and vice-versa. Also, sometimes the rpm will increase drastically on its own without an increase in speed. I'm afraid this will cause an accident if the speed decides to increase.

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.
