Coasting to stop at intersection transmission did not disengage and engine suddenly accelerated to 2000 rpm. Held brakes and rear tires spun. I knocked trans into neutral and engine returned to normal. It has done this twice in 2 days. No floor mats and no contact with accelerator pedal. I did have a witness to this incident. Uncommanded acceleration -very bad! is there a recall for this already?.

2 Transmission Not Engage problem of the 2008 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

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.
