Description of the problem	I own a 2006 ford explorer with 64000 miles. Yesterday without any warning the transmission went out while in heavy traffic, i had the vehicle towed to a dealer where they say the transmission would need replaced. I checked online and found this to be a very common problem with this year and make. And everyone had exact symptoms. Ford acts like this isn't common and plays dumb to the fact. I still owe $15000 on a vehicle and cannot afford $3000 to repair. Someone please look into this issue and stop ford from taking advantage of citizens. Thank you
