FORD EXPLORER 2008 car safety problem was reported on Dec 30, 2010.FORD EXPLORER 2008, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . we have a 2008 eddie bauer ford explorer that we purchased from the dealership in 2008. earlier this year when we went over a bump, the electronic drivers seat moved back and the interior lights turned on. it took a moment for the lights to turn off, but the seats did not move back in to place. i mentioned it to the dealership during an oil change and they couldn't replicate the problem. now the problem is so frequent that it happens several times while driving, even on the highway. it does not matter if there are bumps or not. at night it is very dangerous because the interior light impairs your vision until your eyes adjust. i called the manufacturer who told me that since my car is out of warranty now we would have to pay to fix it, if they can isolate the problem. i believe that this problem can seriously endanger other's lives. i am lucky because i am tall, so when the seat goes back i can reach the pedals, but my wife sometimes has issues when this happens. we finally got fed up today because it happened 5 times during a 20 minute drive down the highway. *tr.Mileage was 32000 miles.

FORD EXPLORER 2008 car safety problem was reported on Jan 18, 2011.FORD EXPLORER 2008, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . my engine light came on and i was unable to put gas in the vehicle. i took it to 3 local mechanics and all 3 concurred that due to the design of the gas tank vent hose (water from the road) has ended up in the gas. this in turn contaminated the gas canister and gas vent valve. to fix the problem they will be replacing the vent hose, gas vent valve and canister. this is information was obtained through running 3 different diagnostics and receiving the service bulletin (tsb 07-25-3). i contacted ford and they stated there is a service bulletin on this issue but they will not help with the repairs since my warranty is out. this is a known defective part that they could have replaced when being notified of the defect and it would have prevented the water getting into the vent valve and canister causing this expensive repair. i will be going with the cheapest repair which is $609.00 and to the average working person this is a big expense for something that could have been prevented. i believe ford should be made to repair this issue has been reported by consumers and their poorly designed part caused the problem not the consumers. thank you for investigating my complaint. *tr.Mileage was 95250 miles.
