Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY 2005 FORD EXPLORER NEW, I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SUV DELAYING OR NO SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE OR DRIVE. IT JERKS INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE. IT WAS DOING IT ONCE TWICE A MONTH, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE MORE FREQUENTLY NOW. ALSO MY SUV JUMPS INTO GEAR WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE AND I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSING THE FRONT TIRE TO BURN RUBBER AND WEAR MY TIRE OUT QUICKLY. I HAVE TAKING MY CAR INTO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE, AND MADE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT ALWAYS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESS ASAP! *TW
