Transmission jumps into first and second gears from start. Engine surges and causes vehicle to jump. No good idea when going through military gate entrances. Transmission hesitates when taking off. Transmission makes loud noise when you stop. Feels like someone crashes into vehicle. Action not safe for rush-hour freeway driving or any driving when you must drive slow. Such, as in ice and snow. Dealer tried to fix, but stated was factory defect and than Ford was working on the problem with a modification. Problem no evident when vehicle is hot rodded. But safe for average drivers. After almost hitting a marine guard at camp pendledton, I no longer drive the vehicle on base during rush hours or when there are formations for fear of hitting marchers.

I am very concerned about my 2002 Ford explorer sporttrac. I bought it with 1600 miles on it already in March 2002. On 9/6/03, I had it towed in for a continuous reving between 1&2 and black smoke coming out of the tail pipe. The truck had already been stalling during the previous months whenever I wanted to speed up. Ford had my truck for about 2 1/2 weeks, replaced my transmission from the factory. The service man told me they had to send for yet another transmission - that even Ford was stumped with the problem so just sent them another transmission. I got my truck back and it worked fine. Then, the stalling started happening periodically again and again. I took it in again - they said they could not find a problem. I complain about it every time I take it in for servicing. I also complain about the constant front passenger wind noise; they initially said there were leaks and even though I still complain, they now say there isn't a problem. I asked about the lemon law and the salesman who sold me the truck (I bought it in another city) told me the same exact problem has to happen 5 times. I am not happy with this situation. What can I do? I have now read other instances in this web site that other people have experienced the same thing. My truck now has almost 32,856 miles on it. I responded '0' to 'number of failures' - I don't know what is meant by this question. Yes, my transmission failed.
