Transmission went out at 89,000 miles. This is the second Ford I've had that the transmission went out at 89,000. I have also had several brake issues that Ford refused to address after extended warranty expired.

Explorer Sport Trac 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,500 miles
With no advance warning, the O/D off light began flashing and the transmission began to slip. Mechanic said the transmission is shot. I have not done any of the work yet, as I can not afford $3000 in repairs. I have since found out that this problem occurs on a large number of Ford Explorer.

This Ford Explorer Sport track was bought new. I previously had a Ford Explorer. The reason I traded was because of the roll over rate. The dealership where I purchased this vehicle gave me a run down on the newly designed Explorer tellin me that the new design had corrected the roll over problem in whick Ford Motor Company has had several law suits. I have two grandchilden we are raising and I most curtainly don't feel safe in this vehicle after reading the articles on this site and the article in the fort worth star telegram. I have had this vehicle in the shop twice for transmission problems and powersteering problems. Both times they said they found nothing. Please advise me in what I should do.
