Ford Explorer Ford Explorer is a midsize SUV with body-on-frame construction. Available with V6 or V8 power, the Explorer competes against the TrailBlazer, Grand Cherokee, 4Runner, and Pathfinder. Explorer was completely redesigned in 2006 and we were pleased with the new steering, new suspension, and new brakes, all of which were vastly improved over the previous-generation.

Default 2007 explorer traction control

Pulling into traffic traction control engages in dry conditions, taking all acceleration power away. traction indicator on dash lights up, unable to disengage with traction button. vehicle does not stall, however there is little to no power to accelerate to appropriate driving speed. brakes also engage anti-lock. there is no warning, except when you commit to accelerating, i would call the traction on the road excellent, meaning i couldn't spin the tires if i tried to.. i was not accelerating heavily, light to moderate acceleration from a stop sign. while it was acting up i would try both, light, heavy and even tap the brakes to try and get the car out of thinking that there is no traction. very close to having a side impact accident because the vehicle did not give me the power to cross traffic from a stop. imagine driving on ice, except there is no ice, and are half way in an intersection trying to limp out of the way. bad feeling. i've lost all confidence crossing traffic at stop signs. second time incident has happened. after 2-4 minutes car drives normal. Took it to a ford dealer and they thought the yaw sensor was bad so they replaced it and retested to make sure that fixed it and it didnt. has this happened to anybody else? Is there another direction i could steer the mechanic in? thanks
