Overdrive Light On Problems of Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Car takes about 3 to 5 tries to start. I replaced gas pump, plugs, cables, temp sensor, still takes long to start. O/d off light started flashing, and now it has a rough gear change I believe from 2nd to 3rd.

O/d light flashing on my 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac.

The last few months the vehicle has been sluggish in power and shifting at the wrong times. We brought it into the Ford dealership. We had them do a transmission flush since it was time, the vehicle had 37,000 miles. The dealership didn't know what was wrong with the transmission. They could hear and feel the problem but could not give us any answers. I picked up the vehicle after having the flush done. On the way home the overdrive light started flashing. This was new. I turned it around and brought it right back. After 2 weeks of going around with them, they finally find metal shavings inside the transmission and tell us we need a new transmission! this is a weekend car with only 37,000 miles on it. This is unacceptable! I contacted Ford directly they said they would look into if there was any program out there for us. Now again 2 week later I spoke to the Ford service manager and he said that he is unaware of any program that can help us. He said there was a program where Ford was repairing the transmissions as a good faith repair but that ended last year. Now I am stuck having to pay $4000 to replace my transmission on a practically new vehicle.

During the acceleration from a stop light the vehicle would slip shifting from 2nd to 3rd. The overdrive off light then began flashing. This caused unexpected poor acceleration and in traffic could result in possibly being rear ended by traffic behind you. Dealer replaced transmission control assembly. $1400. Why should a 4 year old truck need such drastic service?.

Check engine light came on, within hours the transmission started not catching. . . Would rev between 2-3k rpm or around 30 mph but not accelerate. Then o/d light started blinking. All out of the blue.

The contact owns a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. While driving 45 mph, the contact noticed that the transmission switched to a lower gear. In addition, the overdrive light illuminated. The contact noticed that the vehicle would lose control slightly when the failure occurred. The failure occurs everytime the vehicle is driven. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. The VIN was unknown. The current mileage was 150,000 and failure mileage was 148,000.

With no advance warning, the o/d off light began flashing and the transmission began to slip. Mechanic said the transmission is shot. I have not done any of the work yet, as I can not afford $3000 in repairs. I have since found out that this problem occurs on a large number of Ford explorers.

Transmission problems started in early 50,000 miles range. Long lag between shifting from 2nd to 3rd with increased rpm's of engine. Intermittently causes overdrive light to start blinking. Dealer nor aamco could determine cause.
