1 Transmission Not Engage problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2010

2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 5 speed automatic, v6. Transmission fails to engage; truck has difficulty accelerating from a stop and will roll backwards from a stop if on an incline. Transmission also slams gears and feels like the vehicle has been hit from behind. Dealership has failed to repair and has worked on the vehicle for over four weeks with no permanent resolution. Fixes last a couple weeks and then it fails again. Transmission has been removed and many parts replaced, but it still does not work properly. Vehicle does not feel safe from a stop and I am in fear of an accident due to the transmission failing. Ford technician has been working with dealership, but has been only applying band-aid solutions.
