Consumer Description

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH FORD EXPLORERS ESPECIALLY FROM THE YEAR 2000 TO 2005. THERE HAVE BEEN FEW THOUSAND COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET AND HEARD AND ALSO EXPERIENCE MYSELF ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AN THESE VEHICLES AND ITS RIDICULOUS. THE TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO GEARS LIKE SOMETHING IS FALLING UNDERNEATH BOGS DOWN WHEN CHANGING GEARS. HESITATES WHEN CHANGING GEARS AND JUST PLAIN TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN WHICH ITS HAPPENING BEFORE THE VEHICLE EVEN GETS TO 60K. I KNOW HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT LEAST TWICE BEFORE 100K SO CONSUMERS PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ON HERE BECAUSE THIS IS A REAL SAFETY PROBLEM FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN. THANKS *TR
