Model	EXPLORER
Model Year	2006
File date	01/09/12

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	No events leading up to failure. Regular vehicle usage. After 5 years and 85000 miles, the transmission began clunking and hesitating to shift. When shifting into reverse or drive, the transmission jolts violently. This failure has not yet been corrected but has been diagnosed and a rebuilt transmission is on order. I am complaining now because so many similar reports have also been filed across the internet. Upon seeing all the complaints i decided to lodge mine for more to see. This is a huge problem and is going to cost me 3500. 00 to fix since the vehicle is no longer under warranty.
