Description of the problem	Recently my 2006 ford explorer xlt was jolting/jerking when i put it into reverse, it did not do it all the time just randomly, and about two days ago i put my explorer into reverse to leave my driveway and when i was accelerating it would not budge, the engine reved like it was trying to reverse but nothing. It only does it when i'm in reverse though. I've been recently researching this problem and it seems to be a very common problem amongst this year, i've actually seen hundreds of complaints online, ford should be replacing this and paying for the cost, definitely dangerous and also expensive. Had my vehicle for under a year and have approx. 107k miles and ive had it less than a year and still owe roughly 7k on it.
