Description of the problem	At 65,000 miles, my 2006 ford explorer limited automatic transmission needed to be replaced. The car suddenly started to buck and it wouldn't change gears. The mechanic was told by ford that there has been 17 adjustments on my transmission since it went out. I had to pay $2600. For a new rebuilt . Transmission!!! The vehicle was well maintained and i have proof of the service history. This should not happen at 65,000 miles! Also my radiator has been leaking for last couple of years.
