I own a 2004 Ford Explorer eddie bauer with v-8. Have taken to the dealer numerous times about abrupt and delayed shifting with transmission. Dealer re-programmed transmission with no luck, no recall from Ford but have heard hundreds of complaints on-line about same problem. Truck now has over 90,000 miles and still has same problem. Replaced leaking transmission pump last decembe08 and still hard shifting. Will not return to Ford for repairs when transmission or other drive train parts fail due to the hard up and down shifts, please help!.
