Consumer Description

OUR 2005 FORD EXPLORER HAS ONLY 60 THOUSAND MILES AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. OUR MECHANIC HAS TOLD US THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED AT 60 THOUSAND MILES, AND ANOTHER MECHANIC TOLD US THAT FORD VEHICLES ARE STARTING TO BECOME KNOWN FOR THE BAD TRANSMISSIONS. AFTER READING SOME COMPLAINTS ONLINE, I HAVE DECIDED TO REPORT THIS, AS MANY FORD CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED AT VERY LOW MILEAGE. FORD SHOULD CONSIDER A RECALL. *TR
