I've been a loyal Ford customer but I'm more than frustrated. It's not like it's something small, this is a major malfunction of the vehicle. I would like to think that Ford would step up and do something about this since I know I'm not the first one to have this issue. Nor would I recommend anyone buy a Ford Explorer! I love my truck and don't want to get rid of it but seriously can't put any more dollars into it. Right now I feel like I'm getting the run around from both of the mechanics associated with this rebuild and would not recommend either to my worst enemy. I took it back to the mechanic several times who said it was ok but I've had other mechanics tell me there is definitely an issue with it still not shifting correctly. However, the person who put the transmission in is saying that he can't get it to act up, imagine that. With the rebuilt transmission I am still having issues with it today. The mechanic who pulled the transmission out took it to a transmission place and had it rebuilt. Continued to drive until it got so bad I had to take it in. First noticed the problem when shifting out of park there was a large clunk and jerk of the vehicle. I bought my truck from a local dealer and initially didn't have any issues. I'm repairing my SUV and I'm selling it and change to a more reliable and friendlier brand. I always have been a Ford freak from my first 1969 Fastback Mustang, not anymore. When the problem arises, prepare to leave your wallet. The car is good but it's so electronically complicated that you can't do nothing on your own car, even to change a spark plug it's a pain cause the plugs may break. I definitely wouldn't buy another Ford car. Since new, I had to reprogram twice the transmission cause when you stopped the it felt like some one hit from the back or when you started moving it did some weird shifts between 1st and second gear. Took the SUV to the Ford dealer where I got to the news of having to replace the whole valve body and the connector of the transmission and a whopping $2000 bill. I was driving, got a warning with a wrench in amber and the transmission stuck like in 2nd gear. This is the first time in 46 years driving that a transmission failed on me. There are a plethora of issues and failures with Ford Explorers transmissions all over the internet with common threads! I've always driven Ford and stood by the Ford name, but the products they have released since early 2000's have made that decision regrettable! These products are not just happen stance, they carry a common thread in regard to transmissions in Explorers! You give yourself and your product a very undesirable future and the backing of your product leaves A LOT to be desired!!! That was a $1600 fix that The Dealership (Gaffney SC) had indicated was under extended warranty we purchased when buying the vehicle, only to be told was NOT under the extended warranty two days later after they had torn down the transmission! This most recent failure caused extreme duress to my family for several hours on a very busy interstate and a rental car and tow bill followed as well. Just over a year prior to this, the same local dealership in Gaffney, SC repaired the "wiring harness" as they described it to the transmission the "had heated and fused together" causing functions of the transmission to malfunction. The 2007 Ford Explorer had just been serviced Days prior at the Local Ford Dealership just days prior with no problems indicated by service technician after being asked. ![]() On Augwhile traveling on family vacation to Hilton Head, SC, the transmission began slipping and had total failure within 20 minutes of occurrence.
