After shifting from park to drive the engine revs to 3000 rpms before the car starts to move. As the car warms up the problem goes away. My understanding is that Ford has a huge problem with the 2002 explorer transmission and nothing has been done by the Company to resolve the problem.
Very frustrated!

Everytime I would go from Reverse to Drive it would slip, stall ect. Sometimes at stoplights.

I own a 2002 EB Ford Explorer. Last summer it began to give me problems. I would get to a red light or a stop then when I would accelerate it would not go. I tried checking the transmission fluid and couldn't find where to check or add fluid so I took it to a mechanic who said it sounded like the exhaust? I let him fix it and it appeared to be working then two months later it started up again, $800 down the drain! Two months after that it overheated and there I was stranded with 4 kids the youngest 3, I was furious! So I took it to another mechanic, another $600 and it seemed to be fine again except now the "service engine soon" light is on. Now $1400 and entire year later the darn thing is still doing the same thing.
