Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION ON 2004 FORD EXPLORER XLT 4.6 AWD DOESN'T ENGAGE IN REVERSE OR DRIVE WITHOUT HESITATION. ON GOING PROBLEM SINCE ABOUT 15K. TOOK TO THE DEALER AFTER RECEIVING RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD. DEALER PUT "ADDITIVE" IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SAID IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 3K MILES TO WORK OUT OF THE PROBLEM. I NOW HAVE 24K ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE SHIFTING IS GETTING WORSE. WORRIED ABOUT PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ETC, NOT KNOWING IF THE TRUCK WILL MOVE OR NOT. LEATHER SEAT COVERS WERE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE FROM THE DEALER, AS AFTER 6 MONTHS THERE WERE NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE LEATHER. *NM
