In the event of a significant engine issue, your vehicle will enter engine fail-safe mode as a safety precaution. While in this mode, your vehicle will limit speed and throttle response to prevent further damage and ensure your safety as the driver. It is imperative to take your vehicle to a mechanic if this mode is activated, unless you are able to diagnose and repair the issue yourself with a code reader.

    My Ford Explorer with a V6 4.0L engine is currently in safe mode, but I'm not getting any response when I hit the gas pedal. Can you please advise me on what steps I can take to address this issue?

    When the Engine Failsafe Mode light turns on in your 2005 Ford Explorer, it means there could be mechanical problems with your vehicle. This will cause the Explorer to slow down and throttle response to decrease. It is important to immediately stop driving the vehicle to prevent additional damage and arrange for it to be towed to a nearby dealership or mechanic for inspection and repair.
