2012 Ford EXPLORER Vehicle Speed Control Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1237523
Internal NHTSA #	10789409
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	FORD
Model	EXPLORER
Model Year	2012
File date	09/11/15
Component	VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	On 6/29/15 while driving to work at about 40 mph the awd off light came on with a wrench on my 2012 ford explorer, the vehicle suddenly decreased in speed to less than 5 mph. Pulled over turned the vehicle off & then turned back on. Computer seemed to reset itself. Took vehicle to ford & said they could not replicate the problem. Then again tonight (11/9/15) on my way home from work, again going about 40 mph, the awd off light with the wrench came on again. Speed immediately dropped to less than 5 mph & vehicle made grinding noises. Pulled over, turned the vehicle off & turned back on. Computer reset itself again & immediately drove it to ford. The only message they could find was a code for loss of communication to bcm. Was told there was nothing they could do and if it happened again to leave the vehicle running, call roadside assistance & have them tow it in while still running. I live in a rural area that does not have many places to pull over when your vehicle breaks down and i do not understand why the computer systems memory does not track these messages. I guess it will take a fatality before ford rectifies the problem.
