Consumer Description

BOUGHT 2004 FORD EXPLORER IN 2008, NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THAT IT WAS HARD TO PUT INTO GEARS BUT WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL FOR FORDS. OVER THE NEXT YEAR STARTED NOTICING THAT WHEN YOU PUT ON THE BRAKE IT FELT LIKE THE REAR END WAS FALLING OUT, AGAIN TOLD THAT THIS IS TYPICAL OF A FORD. JUST THIS PAST WEEK HAVE NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT WITHOUT A BIG JOLT AND THE O/D LIGHT HAS STARTED FLASHING. AUTOZONE CHECKED FOR CODES AND SAID IT WAS P90775, WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO BE SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION. TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE AND THEY WANT 2000-3000 DOLLARS TO BUILD NEW TRANS. BUT SAID THIS IS ONCE AGAIN TYPICAL OF A FORD. REALLY!!! IF FORD KNOWS THIS WHY ARE THEY NOT RECALLING THE VEHICLES. TRANSMISSION GUY SAID ALL THE PREVIOUS WARNING SIGNS HAVE BEEN EXACTLY WHAT HE HEARS ALL THE TIME WITH THIS MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. HELP!!! MY HUSBAND IS RELIGIOUS ABOUT CHECK FLUIDS ON OUR CARS, CHANGING THEM ECT....FIRST THING HE NOTICED WAS THERE IS NO DIPSTICK FOR THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? HIDING SOMETHING? *TR
