| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was approaching a stop light intersection in my 2007 ford explorer. as i braked to stop, all of a sudden the vehicle on its own downshifted into a lower gear and accelerated pushing me into the intersection. an alert driver entering the intersection saw what was happening and stopped in time avoiding what could have been a serious accident. the only way i was able to safely drive the vehicle back home that day was to carefully put the transmission into neutral each time i wanted to slow down or stop. the dealership where i purchased it, was unable to diagnose and repair the problem. *jb |
