Consumer Description

VEHICLE SHIFTED FROM 2ND TO 3RD HARSHLY & OD LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. DID NOT DO IT EVERY TIME IT WAS DRIVEN. CALLED DEALER AND WAS TOLD NO RECALLS WERE LISTED ON THIS TYPE PROBLEM. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR 2000 EXPLORER WITH SAME PROBLEM. TRANSY MECHANIC REPAIRED OTV VALVE ON TRANSMISSION, RESOLVED PROBLEM AT MY COST OF $350. SOMETHING DEFINITELY WRONG WHEN THIS MANY REPORTS ARE FILED FOR SAME ISSUE. VEHICLE ALSO WEAVES WHEN SPEEDS OF 60 MPH+ ARE REACHED AS IF WOULD ROLL OVER. SHOCKS DO NOT SEEM TO BE SET RIGHT, VERY ROUGH RIDE FOR SUCH A LUXURY FITTED OUT VEHICLE. FIRST FORD I HAVE EVER OWNED IN THE 30+ YEARS I HAVE DRIVEN...NOT HAPPY....I AM SELLING. GIVE ME A PONTIAC ANYDAY! FORD, TAKE OWNERSHIP! *NM
