THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RECALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SAFETY ACT. HOWEVER, IT IS DEEMED A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN BY THE AGENCY. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 2002 FORD EXPLORER AND MERCURY MONTAINEER SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES. THE BRACKETS CONNECTING THE LEFT CYLINDERS TO EACH SIDE OF THE LIFTGATE GLASS COULD ROTATE OUT OF POSITION IF EITHER THE URETHANE BOND OR TORQUE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT.
ROTATION OF THE BRACKETS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE LIFT CYLINDERS TO DETACH FROM THE GLASS OR, IN SOME CASES, COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE LIFTGATE GLASS TO BREAK. EITHER CONDITION IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE GLASS IS BEING CLOSED.
FORD DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR THE POSITION OF BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT LIFTGATGE GLASS LIFT CYLINDER BRACKETS. IF THE BRACKETS ARE IN THE PROPER POSITION, THE BRACKET RETAINERS WILL BE TIGHTENED TO A HIGHER TORQUE. IN CASES WHERE THE BRACKET IS NOT PROPERLY POSITION, THE BRACKET MUST BE RE-ALIGNED.

ON OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN INCHING FORWARD AT STOPS WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE ACCELERATOR CABLE. THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER, WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DECELERATE. MY HUSBAND SHIFTED THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADMITTED THAT THE ACCELERATOR CABLE HOUSING WAS DEFECTIVE. I FINALLY TRADED IN THE VEHICLE.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR STARTED ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK AND HE TRIED BRAKING AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. HE EVEN TRIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND IT WOULD NOT STOP. IT FINALLY POPPED UP AND STOPPED. HE WAS VERY FRIGHTENED BY THE INCIDENT. WE HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND HE REFUSED TO LET THEM RIDE IN IT AGAIN. THEN NEXT DAY WE TRADED IT IN ON A NEW CAR AT A HUGE LOSS TO US. I NOW FIND OUT THAT FORD HAS THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE RUG DID NOT CATCH IT WAS NOWHERE CLOSE TO IT.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING ON VACATION ON JULY 20,2002. WE WERE DRIVING OUR NEW FORD EXPLORER XLT. I STOPPED FOR FUEL AND WAS RE-ENTERING THE INTERSTATE. TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY SO I HAD TO ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 60MPH TO ENTER THE TRAFFIC. AS I MADE MY ENTRANCE, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AS I WAS BETWEEN TWO 18 WHEELERS. I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED AT FULL SPEED ALMOST REAR ENDING THE SEMI. I WAS APPLYING MY BRAKE WITH ALL MY STRENGTH TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE CHARGED AHEAD. I STEERED TO THE SHOULDER AVOIDING THE SEMI AND BEGAN STOMPING THE ACCELERATOR AT WHICH TIME IT FINALLY RELEASED. MY FAMILY AND I WERE TERRIFIED. I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY DEALER IN LEXINGTON WHERE IT WAS EXAMINED AND THE POSITION TAKEN THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. "THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE VERIFIED". I WAS TOLD TO COME AND GET MY VEHICLE THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ARE TERRIFIED OF THE VEHICLE AND WE CAN GET NO RELIEF FROM FORD. I DID CONTACT FORD IN DETROIT AND GOT THE SAME ANSWER-NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.*AK
