Now this is the 3rd issue I've had since purchasing the vehicle 10 months ago!!! We were on our way out of town, a short, 30 minute drive, and the O/D light starts flashing, SEL on and transmission slipping. Mind you, I had dealt with the fuel rail pressure sensor only 2 weeks ago and the upper thermostat housing 2 months ago. I am looking through reviews and complaints and this seems to be something ALL TOO COMMON that Ford has refused to address, considering the amount of transmission problems these generation Explorer's have had. I am beyond livid!! I purchased the vehicle from a well known lot here in Utah, but had issues almost immediately. The dealer did replace, out of "good will," the ball joint and E-brake that were bad. We get a lot of snow during winter and 4 wheel drive is a must. My Mother has the same model year and has had no issues, which is why I chose this vehicle. Now I am stuck paying for a vehicle I cannot drive, after 10 months of owning it, am working full time and doing clinical rotation while in nursing school, which is a 30 minute drive from my house. I am literally at a loss and quite frankly, more than pissed at Ford for knowing about this issue. I am going to see what the dealer will do (if anything at all). Anybody have any ideas or resources to help with this issue? Any info is greatly appreciated.
