| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This a safety concern. while cruising on the highway at 50 mph i intended to pass slower-moving vehicles by accelerating. however, it took the automatic transmission 4-5 seconds to kick-in, and for the explorer to attain enough speed to safely pass other vehicles, even if the pedal wasfloored. the time interval was too long (other vehicle made with a/t tool only 2-3 seconds), and could cause an accident. i have referred the problem to the dealer and to ford group philis. inc. 4 months ago yet but they have not yet found a solution.*ak |
