One problem related to transmission gear slipping has been reported for the 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport. My 5 speed automatic transmission slips while shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. My vehicle has only 55,000 miles on it and from the new groups I've been following, I'm not alone. I understand that Ford has redesigned the valve body and is refusing to replace defective units free of charge.
