2006 Ford EXPLORER Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Internal NHTSA #	10716331

Model Year	2006
File date	22/04/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I was leaving a side street, merging into traffic and as i was changing lanes and accelerating into busy traffic the vehicle just sat there with the engine revving up. The transmission wouldn't engage and then it slammed into gear so hard that it felt like i was rear ended and there was a loud bang. In my opinion, this is a definite risk to our personal safety because if you turn across traffic, change lanes, merge or attempt to avoid obstacles; you have no idea when the transmission will fail making it impossible to safely operate this vehicle. It is a major safety issue - please hold ford accountable before someone gets killed. Thank you.
