Description of the problem	While being parked on an inclined hill, my explorer would not get into gear. Had to call aaa to tow to transmission specialist who adjusted the gear but stated you might have more transmission problems. Since then my car has had problems where the gears have been grinding as i'm driving. I'm afraid i might have more serious problems in the future since i've been reading reports from ford owners that this is becoming a major problem with ford vehicles. *tt
