Description of the problem | I feel my 2006 4. 6,v8, xlt explorer is unsafe because of the transmission hesitation when accelerating from a stop. You try to judge distance to pull out on a street and when you step on the gas it doesn't go! It has a pause and then goes. The dealer has 'recalibrated' the computer and transmission response three times now! The date included is the last time it was done. *jb |
