Wondering if anyone is having a similar problem with their explorer. It will randomly die at idle (one time it did die at about 25mph) with no warning lights or anything. It's still under warranty and I've had into the dealer about 5 times and since their is no warning light or code for them to look up they cant figure out what's wrong. It has about 45k miles and has been in for all the scheduled maintenance.
Any thoughts?
 






bad timing comes to mind.. but try this as well pay very good attention to ur truck, try to notice any consistencies in the things youre doing when it stalls... is the a// or heat on, radio on are u rolling the windows up and down... is it raining out side is it cold or too hot... whats all your gages look like... does it mkae any noises, or surge this kind of stuff will prove to be very helpful for them when they are trying to figure out whats wrong... but my advice.. do not play with it your self you may void the warranty or mess something up worse than it already is... and still maynot be covered under the warranty due to the fact that you touched it and are not a certified ford tech.... if they find what it is please let us know im very interested to know
