Consumer Description

COMMON TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON 2002 TO 2005 FORD EXPLORERS. MY 2005 FORD EXPLORER TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND ALMOST CAUSED MY FAMILY TO GET REAR ENDED ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN ALMOST INTO A ROLLOVER ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO BEING IN THE PASSING LANE AND TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. I HAD TO HAVE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION REBUILT AT 46,000 MILES WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR
