Description of the problem	I bought a 2006 ford explorer used in dec. Of 2006 about a year later i was having problems took it in and needed a new water pump it was covered under warranty. In june of 2008 the gear shift would stick when trying to get out of park also the engine would race and not shift gears it was also making a knocking noise in the engine. Took it in for a routine oil change and to have all problems looked at they said there were no problems and it was a glitch in the computer "its just not resetting itself" they said it was fixed on nov. 08 again went in for oil change they said coolant was low and top it off didn't see any leaks in hoses or radiator. And 9 days later my engine blow now i got to pay 5,500. To get it fixed because the warranty is now expired. I was told the coolant was leaking into my oil tank and exhaust which when oil changes were done should have been detected.
