Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 ford explorer sport, which i was told uses the same faulty transmission as the 2002 explorer. like many the o/d light started flashing and now the estimate is around $3000 for the dealer to install a transmission. only have 76,000 miles. ford knows about the problem as they have various tech bulletins. they are just trying to avoid the cost of a recall. this is the second ford i had fail around this mileage with transmission problems. the dealer could care less i never thought i would say this but i will never buy a ford again! they need to do what's right here, do a search online and you wont believe how many people have exactly the same issue! *nm
