Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Transmission seized after approximately 75k on car 5 years old. luckily my husband was driving slowly on local streets when it occurred so he was uninjured. transmission was repaired at dealer costing $3546.23 this happened to our previous ford explorer and if you look online at carcomplaints.com seems to be an extremely common occurrence with 2002 ford explorers. ford doesn't see a need to repair this problem since it conveniently happens after warranty is up. *tr
