1999 Ford Explorer- reverse went out in transmission, then after spending 1500. To get that fixed , worked good for awhile, now the o/d light flashes and won't kick into overdrive, now I am told I need a new transmission. This vehicle only has 110,000 miles should not be on it's 3rd transmission fix. . Very disappointed !.
O/d light stared flashing and it wouldn't shift out of the lower gear. Paid around $1400 to have some bands replaced in the trans and the computer flashed. Now has a hesitation between 30 and 40 mph. Transmission issue.
1999 Ford Explorer transmission o/d light flashing. Transmission has not failed yet, but it won't be long.
