NHTSA Complaint #10861666 — 2002 FORD EXPLORER

TAKATA RECALL . MY OD LIGHT KEEPS BLINKING , TAKES FOREVER TO SHIFT I HAVE TO TAKE MY FEET OF THE GAS UNTIL I HEAR IT SHIFT THEN I CAN PRESS THE GAS AGAIN AND THE CAR JERKS WHEN THE GEARS SHIFT. THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF IF I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE OR IF I CHANGE THE GEAR TO DRIVE . THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF ISSUES BUT THE OD LIGHT SEEMS TO BE COMMON. I TOOK IT TO MORE THAN ONE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ITS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T FORD TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THIS ISSUE IF ITS HAPPENED TO SO MANY OF US . I AM A MOTHER OF FOUR THAT NEEDS HER CAR AND THIS IS UNFAIR BECAUSE ITS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX I WAS QUOTED BETWEEN $2,500-$3,000
