1ST TRANSMISSION TOTAL FAILURE AT 87K MILES 2ND TRANSMISSION TOTAL FAILURE AT 156K MILES VEHICLE IS DRIVEN VERY LIGHT DUTY USAGE BY A MATURE WOMAN (NOW 86 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE 2ND FAILURE). FROM RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I HAVE FOUND THAT FORD MANY ISSUES WITH EARLY MILEAGE TRANSMISSION FAILURES AND NEVER A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I'M FILING THIS ON BEHALF OF MY MOTHER

I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE THRU 123 AUTO IN HOMOSASSA FL CITRUS COUNTY AND IT HAS A AIRBAG THAT IS NO GOOD AND NO HORN AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND THEY WILL NOT FIX SO I AM CURRENTLY PAYING TO GET IT FIXED I WAS TOLD TO MAKE A COMPLAINT WITH THIS OFFICE TO SEE IF YOU CAN HELP ME GET SOMETHING DONE BECAUSE IT IS NOT RIGHT

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND THE OVER DRIVE LIGHT OFF STARTED FLASHING AND I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE VEHICLE STARTING TO SHIFT HARDER IN 1 & 2 GEARS!

THE TRANSMISSION OF OUR 2002 EXPLORER STARTED SLIPPING, JUMPING, JERKING' SURGING, REFUSING TO SHIFT, SHIFTING SLOWLY AND OTHER ASSOCIATED THINGS APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO. THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY, IT DOES IT WHENEVER IT WANTS, REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, DRIVING DISTANCE. I FEEL FORD OWES ME A NEW, REDESIGNED TRANSMISSION WITH INSTALLATION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT FORD IS DOING ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS INSTALLED IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR EXPLORERS.

THE REAR SUSPENSION IS BROKEN ON EITHER SIDE OF VEHICLE, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BEARINGS WERE REPLACED, NOW THE DRIVERS REAR WHEEL BEARINGS ARE SHOT.
