After making abrupt stop half mile before incident to avoid accident, I came to a stop at a stop sign. When I went to enter a main highway, my transmission slipped and left me non mobile in the intersection, almost causing me to get hit broadside. Had to get out in traffic to push my vehicle off highway. Many exact transmission problems for this vehicle already posted on internet I see. Very dangerous.
I never have any warning before my transmission slips while driving my 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. My transmission slips when it shifts from 2nd gear into 3rd gear, after the transmission slips my od dash light begins flashing; this problem has been happening since the first month I that I have owned (April 2007, with 77,000 miles). I have attempted to get the dealership to diagnose the problem, but they will not touch it unless I paid $195. I cannot afford to have that done unless the cost goes towards a repair. I have researched this problem on the internet and I found numerous complaints about this transmission issue happening.
