Description of the problem	I bought my ford explorer in 2006 but three years later had to replace the radiator. After that i notice that the transmission would slip every now and then. The problem seems to have escalated since june 2013 with the vehicle jacking or dragging before shifting gears. My wife is actually afraid of driving this vehicle and instead prefers to drive my 2000 honda accord which has been running with no problems. I took the vehicle to my mechanic who told me this has been a problem with the model and year of my ford explorer and that the transmission will need to be replaced and so he told me i should file this complain since this was not our fault but a factory defect which by the look of what i have seen on this site, ford is aware of. My question is why has ford not recalled this because after checking this site, i have seen so many complains about the same related issues (mainly radiator and transmission), are customers supposed to suffer and spend money for things that the ford company has neglected or for their poor workmanship? I believe not. Ford needs to get their act together and solve this problems for their customers. I, just like everyone who bought a ford explorer would like to see our automakers doing well and that's why we buy the cars but not at the expense of our families safety or finances.
