Description of the problem	My son was driving home and the truck started jerking uncontrollably and he couldn't back up so had to call a tow truck. All of the transmission fluid had leaked out due to radiator failure. The truck was off warranty so had to buy a new radiator. In order for the radiator to have a warranty had to buy another part from the ford place for 200. 00. Got the part and radiator. Within six months to a year, same thing happened, had to have another radiator. Have had three radiators and now this year 2013 leaking again and the radiator that i paid $600. 00 for the radiator place has went out of business so i have to buy another radiator. This is an ongoing problem with this 2006 ford explorer xlt and ford knows about it. I am afraid to drive it half the time, never know when i won't be able to move it if all of the fluid leaks out or may stop in traffic suddenly. Please help us to get ford to recall these trucks.
