Description of the problem	My 2006 explorer has recently started shifting hard and sometimes will not shift into gear right away. When i pull up to a stop light or become stationary it will try to die and sometimes will. And will also not go into gear unless i give it a lot of gas and then it takes a minute to pick up complete speed. I have already had to replace multiple things on this vehicle and am seeing that others have been having the same trouble. Ford do the right thing and recall this vehicle.
