2015 Ford Explorer Vehicle speed control Problems

“While driving car suddenly started to sputter and I could no longer accelerate.. Had roll to a complete stop.. Once stopped I let it sit for a moment and it restarted and I was able to make it home.. It has happened on at least 3 occasions.. And on the dashboard it display a yellow wrench and says see manual.. This is very dangerous because I was in traffic on all 3 occasions.”

“11/27/19 - I have a 2015 Ford Explorer with 34,000 miles on it. While driving my Ford Explorer down the highway at approximate 60 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost power and my husband had to let it coast to the side of the road. The motor was still running but pushing the gas pedal did nothing. The lights on the dash lit up, the wrench icon appeared along with a message to check the manual. We turned the vehicle off and let it sit a moment, then restarted it and we were able to make it home without any further issues. …”

“While driving at any speed, the car will suddenly stop accelerating. Once you are able to get completely stopped and turn the car off and restart it, it will do ok until the same thing happens again with no warning. When in traffic or with no place to pull off or coast to, this is extremely dangerous. Has happened to me about 10-20 in the past 2 -3 years. After researching online, I read many of the same situations. Took to local dealer and they diagnosed it as the throttle body and said there were numerous explorers with the same problem.”

“Traveling at any speed, the vehicle will not excelerate, vibrates, and an yellow wrench appears on the dash with message all terrain management fault . It has happened twice in the last two days. You have to coast to a safe place off the road, turn your engine off, and restart. It has a lag when trying to restart, but will start. This is extraordinarily dangerous while traveling on any roadway. I am taking it to the dealership tomorrow, but what research I have done states this is a very common occurrence. An issue with the throttle body (etb).”

“I was driving on a 4 lane road with a median (not highway). I was in the left lane passing 2 other vehicles when my Explorer began to accelerate and would not stop. The road was wet and as I began stomping on and off the gas pedal to try and release the accelerator, the vehicle began to hydro plane. I went across the right lane and hit the curb, which pretty much ripped out the front undercarriage of the vehicle. Once I left the roadway and could not regain control of the vehicle I put the transmission in neutral until I could get the car stopped. …”
