The biggest problem I have now is my transmission, on August 1st, my Explorer lost its reverse, it is now August 25, and I still do not have my car, they fixed it on Aug 20, it broke that night, took it back Aug 22, broke again and then took it back that night and now they still have it and dont know what is wrong with it. I told them all I want is a car, but they say they cannot give me one. Why? I dont have a car, I lease the one I have, cant drive it, still have to pay for it, and they wont give me a loaner.
