1993 FORD EXPLORER Power Trainautomatic Transmission Problems

I BOUGHT A CAR FROM A DEALER AND HAVE THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. THE DEALER WOULD NOT GIVE ME A TEMPORARY TAG UNLESS I WENT TO HIS MECHANIC FOR A INSPECTION ALSO THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY LEAKING OIL SINCE THE 2ND DAY I PURCHASED. *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT PROPERLY FROM FIRST TO THE SECOND GEAR. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE.*JB

VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHEN DRIVING. CONTACT DEALER . TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HAD PART REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN 3 YEARS.*AK

THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS DERIVED FROM A MAZDA MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND IS WELL-KNOWN TO LEAK LUBRICANT RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION GEAR FAILURE.*AK

WOULD LIKE TO BE CONTACTED IF ANY RECALLS OR INFORMATION REGARDING THIS VEHICLE COME UP. NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED IN SUMMARY. *AK

ENGINE OIL LEAK SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK

TRANSMISION FAILED GOING UP A HILL AND ALL TRANSMISION FLUID WAS LOST AT ONLY 78000 MILES. TRANSMISION HAD TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE ALSO HAS ABNORMAL SHAKING ABOVE 55 MPH.*AK

I'M TRYING TO FIND THE RECALLS ON MY AUTO. NO SAFETY DEFECT MENTIONED IN SUMMARY. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ONCE BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IT BLEW AGAIN, AND WAS LUCKILY, STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE FACT THAT 2 TRANSMISSIONS WERE REPLACED IS VERY TROUBLING. WE NOW CALL OUR EXPLORER, THE EXPLODER! I RECENTLY READ OF THE STUDY UNDERWAY INTO THE FIRESTONE TIRES PEELING OFF THEIR CASINGS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO US. THANK GOODNESS, NO ONE WAS HURT, JUST MAJOR VEHICLE DAMAGE. HAD IT BEEN THE FRONT TIRE, I DON'T THINK I WOULD BE ALIVE TO WRITE THIS. PLEASE GET THESE TIRES OFF THE MARKET, BEFORE OTHERS ARE KILLED! *AK( DOT NUMBER: W2HL1MOO15 TIRE SIZE: P235/75R15 )

WE HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS W/ OUR 93 EXPLORER. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 93000 MILES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE ABS LIGHT KEEPS FLICKERING ON AND OFF AND WE ARE NOT SURE WHICH SENSOR IS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE AN ARM & LEG JUST TO TELL US WHICH SENSOR IT IS. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT BEEN POSITIVE. THEY CHARGE TOO MUCH FOR SIMPLE TASKS AND I HAVE BEEN LIED TO ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ABOUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE. IT IDLES ROUGH AND WE HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THE PARTS THE DEALERSHIP HAS SAID WERE BAD AND IT STILL IDLES REAL ROUGH. WE HAVE SPENT MORE ON AUTO REPAIRS THAN WHAT THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. THE AIR CONDITIONER RECENTLY WENT OUT, THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED, NOW THEY ARE TELLING US IT IS THE FAN SWITCH - SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GIVE FORD...
