Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 ford explorer sport 4x4 has 2-3 shift failure causing car engine rpm to rise severely without shifting transmission into 3rd gear. this first happened while getting on the highway leaving me hopelessly in the right lane as traffic rapidly approached from behind, i was fortunate to be able to get onto the shoulder. i have come to find out today that this has been and continues to be a well known problem by ford for years which has yet to be addressed! there is even a tech service bulletin for this problem! besides ripping off consumers for outrages recurring repair costs, this is a real safety issue. is it going to take someone getting severely hurt before something is done. *nm |
