| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Transmission began experiencing problems shifting between 2 and 3 rd gear, into overdrive, and into reverse. on 5/12/06 i took the vehicle to the dealership and the technician was able to diagnose the problem with my vehicle with the keys still in my purse and the vehicle in the parking lot. based on the other vehicles he had seen he had a good idea what my explorer's problem was. unbeknownst to me, three weeks prior to my problem my neighbor had the same exact problem with his explorer. evidently the transmission, solenoid, problem wit the explorer is common and would leave on to believe it tis a products liability claim on either the manufacturer or one of its parts suppliers. 3 solenoids were replaced and my air filter was replaced. my out of pocket cost was $996.. *jb |
