Explorer Sport Trac 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,700 miles
During the acceleration from a stop light the vehicle would not shift 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.
