problem #1

Dec 231998

Explorer

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Transmission would start to slip when traveling just 10mph. The rpms would be over 3 thousand. Had vehicle checked at dealership & was informed transmission was stuck & that it's a factory defect, almost blew up. Also, speedometer does not keep accurate speeds. If speed is increased, it would fail to work. This was referred to mechanic by manufacturer.
