Explorer Limited V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 15,534 miles

Purchased this vehicle in November 2007 as a demo with 13000kms on it. Since the date of purchase this vehicle has been in the dealership (ROSE CITY FORD) six times for the same transmission problems. It constantly jerks, miss shifts, and down shifts hard. The vehicle hesitates when you hit the gas. The dealership keeps saying that this is normal for this vehicle. I do not feel safe driving this SUV. I have had friends and family drive my truck, just to make sure I am not crazy. ALL of felt the same issues. I have owned and driven many vehicles in my life and nothing like this has happened before. I WILL never purchase another FORD vehicle.

Explorer Ironman V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

Complained of transmission problem at first oil change. Ford dealer said that it was normal. Now my Explorer has been at the dealers 4 times for repair of this problem. They had it off and on for about 24 days. Done numerous reprograms and problem always comes back. Now it jerks and lunges in reverse as well. This is the vehicle my kids ride in and there is no way Ford can say they are safe riding in it. All it is going to take is for it to lunge forward while we are stopped at a light or stop sign and some big truck slamming into us for my kids to get hurt. I'm tired of getting the run around from my Ford dealer. The last time they had it in they even scratched up one whole side of it and then gave me a hard time about it and refuse to fix it. Saying I can't prove they did it.
