Description of the problem	I am pasting from a parts of a post that i made on 4/2/2014 @ 11:06am at www. Blueovalforums. Com with the topic being: "major concern/issue with 2014 ford explorer sport": this for the 2014 ford explorer sport with v6 3. 5l ecoboost (twin turbo) motor. About a month after owning it, i was traveling on the highway.... I was traveling about 60mph .... I signaled to get over and gave it gas to speed up moderately to about 75mph or so. When i pressed on the gas the car basically almost stalled on me... It wasn't a transmission trying to think which gear to shift into issue, it was a straight choking of the gas and stuttering/hesitating until i let off the gas 2 times or so and then press down on the gas again and it takes off, but it a noticeable lose of power. This has happened now 4 times with this past weekend 3/30/2014 being the most recent. However the highway speed was the only high speed incident. The other 3 times that it occurred were all in town, on one of them i was making a simple u-turn from a stop and when i pressed the gas (not heavily) to get up and out of the turn it stalled. The other time was passing to another lane and giving it some gas to speed up. This past sunday i was traveling on a 2 lane road then changes to a 1 lane road approx. 100 yards after the stop lights. I was stopped behind a vehicle and when we started moving the vehicle in front was only going about 20-25mph in a 45mph zone. So i signaled and saw a van in the lane about 100 yards back so i pressed on the gas to get some speed to pass him before the lane ended and again nothing crazy just to get up to 45-50mph or so and the darn thing stalled on me again! The big concern i have now is that the family and i are planning on a cross-country road trip this summer from may 24-june 10, 2014.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
