I wanted to share that I had my 2021 new Ford Explorer ST stalling out on the highway (in sport mode) while trying to make a pass during heavy traffic (only to have my Explorer bog and stall when I would floor it multiple consecutive times in a row). This could have killed someone!!!! I ended calling Ford Customer Care about it (knowing my local dealer is hit and miss), which turned out to be the best way to go. The first call I received from my service advisor was "There are no error codes and we were not able to reproduce the problem." Ford ended up engaging their top engineering team to assist the local dealership. They were able to duplicate this issue through an advanced road test (the dealer said it was called a "wiggle test") where they would jiggle certain wires while accelerating on the highway. From there, they replaced the "Gateway Module" but must have been able to reproduce the problem as there was another electrical component that worked with the ECU that they replaced. I was down for almost 4 straight weeks but got a call from Ford letting me know that the car is ready and good to go. I wanted to share my story here as I seen others having this problem as well.
