Transmission Not Go Into Gear problems of the 2003 Ford Explorer

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Explorer. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 mph, the transmission failed to shift gears. The over-drive and transmission warning indicators were also illuminated continuously. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. Upon restarting, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

While I was merging from one road to the next the Explorer transmission felt like it popped out of gear. When I continued the transmission would not change gears without me "feathering" the gas. Took it to a repair shop and had to pay $2000+ to repair/rebuild the transmission.

The contact owns a 2003 Ford Explorer. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the transmission would not shift into gear and failed. The check engine and the bs warning lights were illuminated. The contact notified a mechanic of the failure and was advised that the transmission would likely need replacing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was 148,000.

While entering the highway, my SUV would not shift into gear. The fastest it would go was 35mph, the tachometer was pegged out, the o/d light was flashing on and off and transmission would not shift into the next gear. Almost got hit by vehicles traveling the speed limit which is 65mph, because the transmission would not shift properly for me to merge into traffic.

Explorer od light came on and truck would not shift gears properly. Check engine light appeared and the truck just made it to the mechanic. The truck needed a new transmission at the expense of $3000. It is obvious that the Ford Explorer is known for this type of failure. Sent an email to Ford and they will not assist on the expenses or admit there is a problem with these vehicles.
