2013 Explorer Limited
Last weekend, my recently (may/2016)acquired 2013 Explorer Limited (3.5L V6) died on me. 5 minutes before it happened in was driving normal when I felt RPS went down as if you take your feet in the gas pedal for a second, then it comes right back, I just said "Humm weird", then after an stop light it happens again, so I started to pay more attention to it, so when the road came to uphill (small one) it just died on me, after a few check it seemed to be the fuel pump, BUT after taking to dealership they found NOTHING, and I have been driving it 3 days without an issue. Worries me it happens again an left stranded in the middle of the road..... sorry for the long story.... Have any of you experienced a similar issue?

No CEL? computer should throw some code when there is an error.

It may also be the ETB (electronic throttle body), but reports here were mainly on MY2016 (Na engines).
