Consumer Description

WE DROVE OUR 2002 FORD EXPLORER TO VISIT FAMILY 1 HOUR AWAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. AFTER WE ARRIVED WE NEEDED TO MAKE A QUICK TRIP TO THE STORE AND THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OFF THE BLOCK BEFORE THE OD LIGHT BLINKED AND THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. IT WOULDN'T GET PASSED 20 OR 25 MPH. WE HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR THERE AND GET A RIDE ALL THE WAY HOME. THE NEAREST TRANSMISSION SHOP FIXED THE TRANSMISSION FOR ABOUT $1000 WITH A 6 MONTH WARRANTY. I HOPE IT LASTS AND THAT FORD WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM SOON. *TR
