Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A 2002 EXPLORER 4X4 V6 AUTOMATIC. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WHILE I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT DRIVE TRAIN PROBLEMS, TO INCLUDE WHEEL BEARINGS GOING OUT RIGHT AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED AT LOCAL FORD DEALER. THE WHEELS ALMOST FELL OFF. NOW, THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE OUT AND I FIND OUT THAT IT IS A NORMAL THING TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN. SAFETY, THINK ABOUT MY 2 EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN A BUSY TRAFFIC ON A BRIDGE OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND THE TRUCK JUST STOPPED. RIGHT IN RUSH HOUR! SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER THING WHERE SOMEONE SHOULD STEP UP AND REPLACE AND THINK OF THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. *TR
