Consumer Description

MY EXPLORER LIMITED HESITATES A FEW SECONDS BEFORE SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. WHEN IT FINALLY DOES SHIFT, IT SLAMS INTO GEAR. THE ENGINES DOES NOT REV DURING THIS PERIOD AS I HAVE HEARD OTHERS SAY THEIRS DOES. IT SEEMS TO ONLY DO THIS WHEN THE CAR IS WARMED UP AND NOT EVERY TIME. ALSO, IT SOMETIMES SLAMS INTO GEAR AFTER YOU'VE SLOWED DOWN TO TURN ONTO ANOTHER STREET THEN HIT THE GAS. I HAVE BEEN TO A FORD DEALER AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION ADDITIVE PUT IN. THIS ACTUALLY MADE THINGS WORSE! I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND EXPECT IT TO PERFORM AS SUCH.
