What owners wrote
August 10-october 20th: numerous fault codes appeared on dash: terrain management fault light appeared on dashboard, then the entire dashboard went black, the air conditioning stopped, the radio turned off, the terrain management control knob was no longer lit. Suddenly, very hot air started pouring out of all vents with what seemed like maximum fan speed. For 34 out of 60 day period (6 occurrences and 6 visits to dealership), ford kept vehicle and tried to determine the cause.
While driving down the highway the explorer has suddenly shut down on two occasions. The first time (july 2019) I was driving about 50 MPH. I was able to cruise off into a median. The second time (aug 5, 2019) I was coming off an on ramp onto a busy highway at about 60 MPH. Once again the car suddenly powered off. I was lucky to be in the far right lane and was able to cruise off into a wide grassy area. The traffic I was merging into was at 70 MPH. In both instances the wrench light came on.
