What owners wrote
I have a 2007 for explorer. While I was driving on the interstate the vehicle went from 65 MPH to 20 MPH. I took the vehicle to the ford dealer who advised that the transmission went out. That this is a know issue with the explorer from 2002 to 2008. I contacted six other independent transmission shops who also advised that this is a know issue for ford explorers year 2002 to 2008. I explained to them that I had a two year old in the vehicle with me not only my life was in danger but a child also.
Tire pressure and sensor warning keeps popping on. When car is put in reverse there is a jolt that happens from time to time. Especially when parked. Rpm's rile up but car seems not to be able to move. Takes about 3 tries.
