My 2002 Ford explorers transmission just completely stopped working at 94,000 miles. Reading forums online led me to this site, after reading many, many others' exact same experiences with this car. Ford will do nothing about it and my family does not have the money to replace a transmission! Ford needs a recall on transmissions for this make and model!.
The transmission on my 2002 Ford explorer is defective. When I slow down for a red light or to make a turn the vehicle stalls out and I loose all power. I have to keep one foot on the gas to keep it idling and one foot on the brake.
