Issue. Hard jerks/clunks while shifting into reverse and them forward. Also feels as if your are being hit in bumper as you are stopping while transmission is down shifting. This seems to be an on going issue with so many 2006 explorers, please look into a recall as this a defect with the ford model. Also way too expensive for parts and labor! Failure at mileage of 81,800. Too early to die with this mileage! *tr

Thee have been ongoing issues with the fuel system dating back to 2009 fuel system solenoid and vent. It has been repaired at least three to four times for the exact same repair and the same parts every time. The fuel system does not allow the gas tank to be filled at a normal rate. It takes as long as 45 seconds sometimes to put one (1) gallon of gas in the tank. It can take well over 10 minutes to fill the gas…

When attempting to add gasoline to the tank, gas shoots out of the tank at the nozzle area as if the tank is full. Gas must be added at an extremely slow rate in order to fill the tank. Even when adding gas to the tank at the extremely slow rate the pump will continue to kick off every few seconds. *tr

While driving the vehicle, the smell of antifreeze started coming into the car. My fiance' checked the radiator and overflow bottle and found out it was gas mixed with the antifreeze. My car's mileage is 80100. I do not believe the car should have this issue at only 5 years. This problem/complaint should be investigated and damages should be covered by the dealership or manufacturer. *tr

I own a 2006 ford explorer. The vehicle experience a failure on the fuel fill system in 2008.

Took to a dealer and had it replaced based on tsb#07253. Experienced the same failure again now in 2011 and brought it back to the dealer and was told since it was…

Vehicle will not accept fuel when filling up at pump. I took the car to the dealership and they said it was because of a dirty emission canister. The canister was replaced 03/18/2011 and the problem has returned 03/19/2011. I believe this to be a ford problem and not mine. I was also told that it got dirty because of the heavy snow we received this past winter. I'm curious, don't they sell these cars up north where…

I own a 2006 ford explorer xlt with a 4.0 v6. Recently i was filling up with gas and it began clicking off every 1/2 gallon. I eventually filled up after about 20 minutes. I tried again the next day, thinking it was the pump, same problem. Ended up taking apart the whole fuel line system looking for a clog. No such luck. Finally decided it must be the evap/charcoal canister. There is a tsb on this issue, so ford…

The filling of gas in the vehicle is almost impossible- the gas shuts off every 2-3 gallons then spits gas back out all over the person trying to fill it. Resulting in gas being spilled out everywhere on the vehicle, the driver, the ground. This began happening every few times getting gas and now it is everytime. I looked this up online to find a tsb 07-25-3 problem accompanied by dtc p0451 saying this happens alot…
