| Since 1997, vehicle has had problems with the check engine light. response from ford was that due to the large number of sensors that activate the light, it would be impossible to tell what was setting it off. then told ford to run pcm diagnostic test to obtain codes, didn;t know what i was talking about. finally got them to do it, and it came up with faulty o2 sensor. replaced sensor, and problem persisted. went back, ran test, came back with same results. ford has been no help, contacted ford, said not safety related, therefore not their problem. will never buy a ford again. *ak | |||

| As i drive the explorer on the highway or at any speeds for longer periods of time(200+ miles), engine check light comes on, and the horsepower is affected. gas mileage decreases to about 8 mpg, and this lasts for as long as the vehicle is driven. i have had the transmission replaced, and i have changed the spark plugs, the spark plug wires, the mass air-flow sensor, the fuel filters and the alternator. the problem is still occurring though. i would like to get the problem fixed so as to feel safe in this vehicle. *ak | |||
