I have my Ford Explorer for less than 4 year with only 36000 miles and the transmission started to go bad, it was not shifting smooth it got to a point that it would not go no more because it would not shift and I took it to the Ford dealer in Manheim and is been there for almost 6 weeks and they have not been able to find a problem it is really ridiculous I am tired dealing with this and for sure I am not buying another Ford ever and I will NOT recommend Ford to anyone on my family and friends.

I have had my Explorer in the dealership where I purchased it several times for them to look and talk to me like I have two heads. If it does not throw a code, there is no issue. The rep who sold me my Gold Plan Extended Warranty told me it was normal for my car to have a thumping noise, rpm fluctuation and the odd transmission issue. This happens every day and I know one day I will be left sitting on the side of the road.

When driving at or around 50-55 mph (has done this at other speeds) my Explorer will start with some sort of slipping or hesitation. While this is going on sometimes I have a rattle. I always have rpm changes normally from 1 to 2 sometimes up to 3. This has been going on for nearly a year with no help from our dealership. I have decided to take it to a new dealership for a second opinion.

This is our fourth Explorer and the one only one we have had issues with. The paint is starting to bubble on the hatch, paint is chipping we have rust starting on the door hinges and with this what ever issue. This may be my last Explorer!
