The contact owns a 2006 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to move in reverse. After several attempts, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 123,000.
I was leaving a side street, merging into traffic and as I was changing lanes and accelerating into busy traffic the vehicle just sat there with the engine revving up. The transmission wouldn't engage and then it slammed into gear so hard that it felt like I was rear ended and there was a loud bang. In my opinion, this is a definite risk to our personal safety because if you turn across traffic, change lanes, merge or attempt to avoid obstacles; you have no idea when the transmission will fail making it impossible to safely operate this vehicle. It is a major safety issue - please hold Ford accountable before someone gets killed. Thank you. Raspberry pi citrix receiver install.

2006 Ford Explorer is a lemon. Thousand of problems across the nation. Take one to a garage and the mechanics tell you which problem you have before you tell them, one of three. Transmission failures, radiator replacement every 30000 miles and bad wheel bearing causing tires to come off during driving. Lucky for me only two encountered so far. Transmission failure. Getting on interstate and stalling in traffic is a danger to my family and other members of the motoring public. Average cost for transmission repairs are 2500. 00 to 4000. 00. Ford should have recalled these vehicles for safety issues.

2006 Ford Explorer Transmission Pan
I have a 2006 Ford Explorer v-8 limited with the six speed transmission. The transmission totally failed with under 1,000 miles. It lurched, bucked, high revved and failed to engage, then suddenly engaged and eventually would not drive. The transmission was replaced by Ford. 13,000 miles later the transmission lurches and bucks the card forward. When going from second to first, it pops back into second, then into first again. If not for the foot on the brake the car could lunge forward and cause an accident. I must be careful not to pull up too close to anything when stopping. Ford continued to recalibrate the transmission three more times to no avail and on the fourth and final repair attempt they stated they would do nothing further to repair or replace the transmission.
