Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Bought and own a 2006 ford explorer, eddie bauer purchased as used in 2008 with 19,000 miles on it. At 60,000 the transmission lurches, and slips.... Feels like someone is rear ending you. Slow to respond when accelerating, makes clunking sound when putting into park or reverse. Researched on the internet and there are thousands of complaints regarding the 2006 ford explorer transmissions and apparently ford has issued no recall and offers no repair solution (unless you shell out $2500 for a new transmission). It is unbelievable that a suv with 60,000 miles needs a new transmission!! I still owe just under $10,000 for this truck, where is the justice in buying american?? I would appreciate your comment to this on-going ford problem. Please ford...... Do something!! Thank you!
