another one bites the dust..... looks like you can add another total transmission failure to the list.... was never right from the beginning always had a heavy hum from the tranny..... but it's my problem not Fords.... very disappointing after owning several fords at the very least this is the last of the explorer line for this guy..... As companies like for struggle to survive you have to wonder if they deserve to..... this sport trac was over $30,000 new and a tranny failure before a hundred thousand miles... is just pittyfull...... I vote with my check book.... my what pisses me off even more is that I just bought a brand new Lincoln MKS before this happened...... if I saw this coming I would have bought any one of a number of suv's fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me....... sorry Ford I am done with you!

I bought a brand-new Ford Explorer Sport Trac in 2002. I only use it to go to a from work (a short distance from my home). Very faithful with oil changes, tune ups, etc. I only have 40,000 miles on the truck, when the transmission started sticking. Then the "overdrive" light came on - I looked in the Ford Manual, and it said to take it to a dealer immediately. I took it in to a Ford Service Department that day, and I was told that the transmission "died." In order to fix the problem, I would need to either to a complete transmission overhaul ($2,700.00), or get a new transmission ($3,200.00). I was shocked b/c it only had 40,000 miles on it! I called the main Ford office, and was told that there was nothing that they could do b/c the warranty was up, and there were no recalls. BEWARE, if you consider buying a Ford. I will never buy one again. I was also shocked when I saw the number of Ford transmission complaints on this website. If you want to buy a Ford for your child, I would advise against it, b/c you don't want your kid on the road in a Ford nowadays. I'm going with Honda or Toyota from now on.
