The problem of shifting out of Park was supposed to have been fixed 7 months ago when we paid $1190 for a new steering column. Since October, the problem has just been just as worse. When we took the Explorer to our service dept recently to tell them we were having the same problem getting it out of Park, they looked at it and said that they couldn't fix anything and that we would just have to put on the truck's emergency brake before putting it into Park and then it wouldn't be such a problem getting it out of Park. This is one of many problems we have had with this 2002 Explorer since we bought it. At 278 miles - 4x4 electric shift module replaced $0 warranty; at 24565 miles - pretensioner wiring inoperative $0 warranty; at 30,742 miles - air conditioner compressor burnt up $0 warranty; at 75,253 miles - transfer case assembly $1711 we paid; at 76,413 miles - spark plug coil $223 we paid; at 79,704 miles - rear passenger seatbelt replaced $50 we paid; at 84,459 miles - new steering column $1190 we paid.
