What owners wrote
Vehicle parked in driveway, went to unlock the door to the house and went back out to turn motor off vehicle started moving back and driver was unable to stop vehicle. Ran over driver's arm and ankle and backed into a gravel pit.
Our 96 ford explorer transmission has slipped out of gear at unpredictable times, speeds, and inclines. Only have had a back bumper "bumped" when this happened, but would really like for some dept or entity to refer us to a truly knowledgeable and experienced transmission shop or other helpful source.
