Description of the problem	While in drive the transmission feels like it is slipping. After driving a short time n the vehicle is warmed up it begins jerking pretty badly. You cannot check the transmission fluid or anything due to there being no dipstick or place to add any fluid in the vehicle. The owners manual states it must b done by a licensed professional. When i took it to a "professional" he researched the complaint informing me there wasn't anything he could do with it. His research found 11 pages of other ford explorer owners complaints with the same problem. He also found out that there may be a recall somewhere in the near future for this problem. I have no idea where to go being that my mechanic cannot help me.
