2007 Ford Explorer hesitation problem

[boroff]

I have a 2007 Ford Explorer that intermittently hesitates when taking off. I have taken it to the dealership several times and they have not been able to duplicate the problem. It does not happen all the time. I have noticed it the most after driving to another town about 30 miles away, turning it off for about an hour, then when starting it hesitates. I thought it was just a problem with my vehicle then a couple of weeks ago I rode with a friend that has the same year of Ford Explorer and her vehicle did the same thing. She said she notices more after driving a distance and then restarting it after it been off a short time.

Welcome to this forum! Ask the dealer to flash the PCM to program a new tune for the throttle by wire system. Tell them that there is a TSB for this problem.

There is another possiblity that it could be transmission related, and the same fix could apply to flash, and reprogram. Here is a TSB on this: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1779779&postcount=3
