Car started grinding out of second gear. Repair shop rebuilt the transmission (6,000 miles out of warranty), for a small (ha, ha) fee. Parts removed showed a defective gear which was cracked, then sheared off into the transmission. Lemon????

Explorer XLT V6
Around the first part of the year I was driving to work in my 2005 ford Explorer everything seeming fine when the transmission goes out. God being with me I was blessed to be pulling into the parking lot at work. Needing the car back as soon as possible my husband came by an took it to a transmission shop close by. They knew what was wrong with it as soon as he came in. They had worked on several just like it with the same problem. When we get home he call the Ford company and they tell him the warranty is out. Well we knew that but we have only had the Explorer less than 4 yrs. No transmission that is worth anything is not going out in 4 yrs. He is told he should have taken out an extended warranty. This man is 55 years old and has drove nothing except Fords since he was 16. We have never bought and extended warranty on any of them and they have all had 3-4 hundred thousand miles on them. Why should we buy an extended warranty. Unless Ford can do something to help all of us Ford lovers with this problem this is one that will never by another Ford. Sad I was really looking forward to that new Mustang!!!!!!
