No rant - it is not productive.
I had a 2002 Explorer V-8 5-speed automatic with the common transmission "O/D light blinking" complaint. It bit the dust far from home, local dealer convinced me to buy this 2007 Explorer V-8 6-speed automatic on the spot. At about 10K miles, I began to notice that when coming to a stop, the transmission lurches as it makes the last downshift (into 1st gear). I don't know if this is just annoying, or is the start of something big, but the previous experience has sensitized me.

i'm having the same exact problem as everyone else.. when i go to a stop, i feel the car jerk forward because its shifting to a lower gear. even when i accelerate, i feel it shifting gears and jerking as well. i THOUGHT that maybe its because when i drive, i turn it on and just go right ahead (thought maybe i was suppose to wait for the car to warm up before driving, but that doesnt make sense because i never done that with cars before this one, and i never had this problem) i'm going to bring my car in to ford this monday to have them take a look at it.

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.

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.
