Explorer Sport Trac 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 139,000 miles

My transmission is starting to slip, the ODLight has been blinking for a year or so, seems to happen more at speeds above 65 mph when lights starts flashing. Once it starts it stays on until I turn the truck off. I just replaced the front wheel bearing and now the ABS light is staying on, reset it once but only stayed off for few minutes. I've also started to hear a clunk coming from the rear axel so I'm not sure what is going on. I switched to a Ford because got tired of GMC intake gaskets costing me a small fortune, replaced three different sets at $800.00 a piece, they blamed it on the anti-freeze manufacturer which they decided to switch to. If tithe American auto makers don't stand up for their poor products and at least try and make a difference in helping on the repairs, I'm going to go foreign next time, at least they off a 100000 mile bumper to bumper and what I'm hearing they are doing pretty well.

I have my youngest daughter in a Kia and my youngest son in a VW. My older daughter had a Pontiac that also just seem to nickel dime her for ever with no support from GM.

Time for a change.
