NHTSA Complaint #10267167 — 2004 FORD EXPLORER

MY 2004 FORD EXPLORER HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I NEVER KNOW IF AND WHEN IT WILL GO INTO REVERSE OR PARK. IT HESITATES AND I THEN FIND OUT WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. THIS EXPLORER IS A ONE-OWNER CAR. 32,000+- MILES ON IT. WEEKENDS ONLY. YES, I WENT THROUGH THE EARLIER RECALL, BUT IT DID LITTLE IF ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM,. AT THE TIME, I FIGURED THAT I HAD BEEN SCREWED INTO BUYING A DEFECTIVE CAR WHOSE TRANSMISSIONS WOULDN'T LAST AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. SOMETIMES, THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE RIGHT AWAY AND THEN JUMPS HARD INTO REVERSE. OTHER TIMES, IT HESITATES BEFORE GOING INTO DRIVE AND/OR PARK. I NEVER KNOW. I AM 57 YEARS OLD. PLEASE TELL FORD FOR ME ----NOT TO PEE ON MY LEG AND TELL ME THAT IT IS RAINING. THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE DANGEROUS. AND SINCE BUSH ISN'T PRESIDENT ANYMORE, MAYBE YOUR AGENCY CAN STAND UP AGAIN FOR AMERICAN CONSUMERS. OR WILL YOU? FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME OR FOR FORD TO CONTACT ME. THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH. *TR
