Description of the problem	I recently purchased a used 2006 ford explorer-eddie bauer edition around june 2013. The approximate mileage at time of purchase was 76700. It has only been 2 months since my purchase and i am having problems with the transmission. When in park and shifting into reverse, the car stalls and then after a 5-10 second delay the car jerks very hard backwards. Then when braking immediately after moving backwards in order to shift into 1st gear, the truck just stalls as if its in neutral and then jerks forward violently into 1st gear. This is a very dangerous problem that could lead to a serious accident. Also when driving at a speed of 50 miles per hour or more and slowing down because of interstate traffic, the transmission acts as if it wants to stall even though the engine is revved up. Ford needs to recall this vehicle and fix this systemic problem.
