Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 FORD EXPLORER XLT AND THIS WILL BE THIRD TRANSMISSION TO GO INTO THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR THREE TIMES AND AN ENGINE BLOCK SEAL. THESE ARE VERY COSTLY FIXES FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ARE NOT HELPFUL OR SYMPATHETIC AT ALL AND CLAIM THAT THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. MEANWHILE, WHEN YOU SEARCH THE WEB IT IS AN ISSUE ACROSS THE BOARD. I FEEL THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE AND SO ARE THEIR CARS. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A FORD TO ANYONE, NOT EVEN MY WORST ENEMY. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT TWO CARS FOR THE MONEY I AM PUTTING INTO THIS VEHICLE. *TR
