Consumer Description

ON THIS DATE, THE EXPLORER, WHILE TRYING TO BACK INTO DRIVEWAY, WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND WAS WEAK WHEN TRYING TO BACK, AS IF IT DID NOT GO ALL THE WAY INTO GEAR. ALSO GEAR SHIFT WAS HARD AND WOULD HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING AND SLOWING DOWN IT WOULD JERK INTO GEAR. SOMETHING REALLY NEEDS TO BE DONE CAUSE I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THE VEHICLE ONE WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. WELL I HAD THEM CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AS PART OF THE DEAL AND THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE OCCURRING AFTER THAT. TAKING IT BACK TO BE CORRECTED. REALLY LIKE VEHICLE SO HOPE IT IS FIXABLE. *TR
