Description of the problem	I took my wife's explorer to the dealership and described the issue with the vehicle popping into gear late, or delaying before it goes into gear. I can even feel it when it changes gears when driving. Sometimes more sudden than other times. They said they knew exactly what it is.... So they kept my car for 6 hours to tell me that i owed them $89 for telling me what's wrong, and then told me its $1,300 to fix it. They said sorry about your luck, no recall yet, so you have to pay for it yourself. I would be happy to pursue this further... This is dangerous, and should be addressed by ford before people are hurt.
