Automatic Transmission problems of the 2003 Ford E-550

When braking when coming to an intersection the vehicle suddenly surges ahead and requires hard braking. To avoid running into an approaching 18 wheeler may 27, 2005 the vehicle surged so hard after braking that the tires burned rubber to stop the forward motion.

I bought a new 2003 Ford explorer eddie bauer edition in September 2003. I do a lot of highway driving and put a lot of miles on in any given month. Currently the odometer reading is 60540. At about 28000 had a noise in the rear end that was repaired at no charge because of warranty, the noise reoccurred at 59000 and the dealership says it's the rear end once more but they said Ford motors won't cover the repai ( $1300. 00-$1500. 00). I have owned a number of SUV's in the past and never had this. Any one else having reoccuring rear end problems with the 2003 Ford explorer?.
