IF FORD SEES FIT TO RECALL THE FIRESTONE WILDERNESS ATS THEY INSTALLED, WHY DOESN'T GMC? EITHER THE EXPLORER REALLY IS TO BLAME, OR THE TIRES ARE. IF THE TIRES ARE, WHY ISN'T GM RECALLING THEIR 16 INCH WILDERNESS ATS? *AK

#745104May 9, 2001
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKES IN THE CLOSED POSITION (FOOT OFF OF THE PEDAL) THIS WAS FIRST NOTED AROUND 20,000 TO 24,000 MILES. DEALER CLEANED THROTTLE BODY (AROUND 28,000 TO 30,000 MILES) WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS ABOUT 80 TO 90% OF THE TIME. THE CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT IF I AM BACKING UP TO A TRAILER FOR HOOK-UP OR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, THAT IN MY EFFORTS TO RELEASE THE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE COULD LURCH, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE OR BODILY INJURY.*AK

#744693April 29, 2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WHEN BRAKES APPLIED IN PANIC STOP, PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. THIS ALLOWS INADVERTANT CONTACT WITH ACCELERATOR MOST OF THE TIMES I TRIED TO DUPLICATE THIS AFTER THE ACCIDENT USING RIGHT FOOT TO BRAKE. PRECISE PLACEMENT OF RIGHT FOOT IS NECESSARY FOR ME TO PREVENT THIS( I HAVE TO LOOK DOWN AT MY FOOT TO GET IT WHERE IT WON'T HIT THE ACCELERATOR IN THIS SITUATION). MEASUREMENTS MADE INDICATE THAT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL BOTTOMS OUT DUE TO THE PANIC STOP IT TRAVELS ABOUT 1/2" PAST THE ACCELERATOR, ALLOWING CONTACT WITH IT IF YOUR FEET ARE BIG LIKE MINE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT TRAVEL FAR ENOUGH TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN DURING NORMAL BRAKING. THIS IS A FOLLOWUP TO ODI#744510. I JUST GOT MY TRUCK OUT OF THE SHOP YESTERDAY AND DUPLICATED THE BRAKING PROBLEMS OF THE ACCIDENT. I MEASURED DISTANCE THAT I HAD TO STOP AT ABOUT 200 FT. DURING THE ACCIDENT AT 40 MPH INITIAL SPEED, I DID NOT STOP AND HIT STOPPED VEHICLE AT ABOUT 10 MPH WHILE APPLYING FULL PEDAL PRESSURE WITH RIGHT FOOT. *AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THROTTLE BODY STICKS. IT IS HARD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO TRY TO ACCLERATE AT A SLOW SPEED. WHEN FINALLY PUSHING PEDAL IN THROTTLE WILL SNAP TOWARDS THE FLOOR. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX EVERYTHING. THEY COULD GUESS WHAT HAS BEEN CAUSING THE PROBLEM BUT WITH NO SUCCESS.*AK EACH TIME REPAIR WAS DONE, IT LASTED ONLY 8,000-9,000 MILES. THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM WAS VERY SERIOUS AND AFFECTS OTHER DRIVERS TOO. *YH

#744510April 25, 2001
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ABS SYSTEM FAILS ON PANIC STOPS. SUDDENLY APPLIED PEDAL PRESSEUR LOCKS BRAKE PEDAL AND PROVIDES LITTLE OR NO BRAKING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 SECOND. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF ALL ABS AND THAT I NEED TO TRAIN MYSELF NOT TO JAM THE BRAKES IN AN EMERGENCY. VEHICLE WAS IN SHOP IN DEC. 1999 FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIR AND BRAKES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE CHECKED. NO CHECK WAS NOTED ON REPAIR ORDER, BUT SERVICE MANAGER ASSURED ME THAT THE MECHANIC HAD TEST DRIVEN THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS OK. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A RESULT OF ABS PUMP OVERREACTING TO SUDDENLY APPLIED PEDAL PRESSURE AND LOCKING THE PEDAL WITH BACK PRESSURE BEFORE BRAKING ACTUALLY STARTS. I FEEL THAT THE BRAKES SHOULD AT LEAST CHIRP THE TIRES FIRST. CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS UNDER REPAIR FROM ACCIDENT, BUT IT WILL BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP UPON COMPLETION OF THIS REPAIR.*AK
