Consumer Description

IT WOULD NOT SHIFT IN REVERSE TILL I TURNED IT OFF AND RESTART IT TOOK THE REVERSE. AFTER THE INCIDENT THE EXPLORER KEEP ON GIVING ME PROBLEMS EVERY TIME I'LL SHIFT IT INTO REVERSE. I HAVE TO ACTUALLY PUNCH THE GAS SO IT COULD GET THE REVERSE GEAR. IT HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THAT I HAD TO QUICKLY STEP ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ON COMING TRAFFIC AS WELL AS PARKED CARS, AFTER HAVING TO PUNCH ON THE GAS SO I COULD GO IN REVERSE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
