Description of the problem	2006 ford explorer eddie bauer v-8 problems with transmission 3-4 months into ownership. The vehicle will jump into gear and will lunge forward. This happens frequently when coming to a stop. Also, when driving the vehicle it sometimes hesitates when shifting into gears and will "clunk" into gear. Last week i was taking my daughter and her friend to girl scouts and i pulled into traffic and attempted to accelerate and the vehicle would not shift in order to gain speed. The vehicle coming in my direction had to slam on his breaks to avoid hitting our vehicle. I have had the car to the dealership 5 times for this problem. They have re programmed the computer, replaced the solenoid pack, cleaned the valve body, and have cleared the memory in the pcm numerous times. Still no fix.... The delayed and harsh shifting is dangerous and someone is going to get seriously hurt as a result of it happening. *nm
