![]() In summer of 2015, it started making loud noises when the car was set to reverse. Our Explorer was purchased in 2005 with only 5,000ish miles on it and has been regularly maintained. Please call Ford Consumer Affairs at 1 800 392-3673 to let them know of this issue and The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 1 888 327-4236 to not only make them aware of the issue, but hopefully recall our Explorers and have Ford repair the faulty transmissions. Only bright side is, my Explorer will be back in my hands soon.:) until the next time some thing goes wrong.Already have new wheel bearing hubs on the way. I may buy another Ford if they would do what's right by us.Even paying for defective parts would help a lot to us since it's their poor workmanship and parts that caused this complaint for at last 8 model years.!Īt this point, BEWARE OF ALL FORD PRODUCTS, FOR DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU AFTER THE SALE, this ongoing transmission and other Explorer issues Ford has turned it's back on is all the proof you need.Plus beware of nice to your face salesman, they only smile until you sign your name on the dotted line, then they go to their manager and have a good belly laugh. OK, we all on here have had these problems, Ford has built a crappy transmission with many failure points and should at least offer some help to all the never to own another ford product people on here. After I drove it some more I noticed it wasn't engaging into second gear under hard shifts. they did give me a name of a good transmission rebuilder, and asked them to do it at his cost, not expense, so far bill is over $3400 bucks and not fixed yet!. I know he knew my Explorer had trans problems but sold it anyway. :( "īut the salesman said he had worked for ford for 12 years before coming to NORTHWEST MOTOR SPORTS. Not going back there and putting a sign on the back of my rig, "NORTHWEST MOTOR SPORTS. nothing we can do for you because you didn't spend enough money on my rig. All I got there was tough bounce 'you bought it as is', a couple weeks ago, so there is nothing NORTHWEST MOTOR SPORTS, PUYALLUP, WA. OK, my dumb! The next thing he said was I'll give you the number of our complaint dept. DUH! Anyway, after acting dumb he said well, I bought the truck as is. With in a week I noticed the transmission was not always shifting into reverse right away and then slamming into gear jumping backwards a few feet.Ĭalled place where I bought it and of course my salesman wasn't in, gone for holidays.When did get a hold of him, I told him the problem and his first comment no hesitation was, sounds like trans is going out. I just purchased a 2009 Ford Explorer AWD from Northwest motor sports in Puyallup Wa. ![]() Ford needs to put a recall on the suv transmission before someone gets hurt or killed. They just did not care and I had a warranty on my truck. I knew Fords have there problems, but I feel like I have been taken advantage of, especially when I buy something from a reputable Ford dealer. This is a real issue, and not everyone has the 3000 it takes to have a new transmission put in. My truck hesitates while shifting into reverse and then the truck lunges backward even with my foot on the brake. Within the last few months I have noticed that 2nd gear is getting worse and now I am having a hard shifting into reverse. I took it back to the dealer where I bought it and they told me that this was a normal Ford issue and sent me on my way. I began having problems with my truck slipping and hard shifting into 2nd gear. I only use my truck to go to the doctor's for my autistic son and to the grocery store. ![]() Just lost now.I purchased my explorer, used at a local Ford dealer in November of 2016. Just no Reverse.Īnything else I should do? I have a 10yr old, Old English Sheepdog that loves to walk and run with me. I have one on order since the Honda Dealership was so helpful. I got excited and pulled Reverse Switch without draining Oil even though I had just read too. I have checked all fuses, bought a big new Duracell battery, I have checked the reverse switch, tighten up reserve wire. My life is usually to the point that would be fine I would just take it to them. I went in to buy replacement Oil and filters, Air and Oil and she told me that if I worked on it and got in over my head they would not help me by letting me bring it in later. The people at the Local Honda dealership have already done that. Yes I am a Girl, come on guys don't be mean. ![]()
