NHTSA Complaint #10641375 — 2006 FORD EXPLORER

I WAS ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LURCHING SEVERAL TIMES. IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS UNTIL I GOT HOME. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE COULD NOT MAKE IT DO THE SAME THING. IT DID NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR SEVERAL WEEKS UNTIL I WAS PULLING A TRAILER. AT THAT TIME, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR. I STOPPED AND SHIFTED IT INTO PARK. I THEN SHIFT IT INTO DRIVE AND STARTED DRIVING BUT IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. I AGAIN STOPPED AND TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES. WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE AND BEGAN MOVING, IT WOULD SHIFT INTO THE HIGHER GEARS BUT NOT INTO OVERDRIVE. THE LURCHING CONTINUED TO THIS DAY. *TR
