problem #1

May 012003

Explorer XLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

This was the second non-warranty transmission failure. Now my 2002 Ford Explorer limited has had a transmission failure.

Three transmissions in two Ford Explorers

2002 Ford Explorer with 5R55W transmission is a lemon.

Boy was I stupid for my only buy American attitude.
