Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: on 12-27-04 our 2000 ford explorer started to shift poorly and the over drive light stayed on, the light shows the car will not go into over-drive. i took the explorer to the repair shop and was told the trans. had a crack in the drum in the valve body of the trans. vehicle was repaired cost 2229.62 vehicle only has 56,000 miles. i looked on the net and found many complaints with the same problem two people said it occurred twice same problem. to me it sounds like a major problem with the 2000 explorer my wife drives this vehicle very carefully never doing anything but going to work or going grocery shopping. i am very mad i think ford is making a lot of junk this tranny for one. maybe ford should have a recall on this tranny. *jb
