Description of the problem	Just like many others who have reported the same issue with their 2006 ford explorer, when backing out of the driveway, i put the vehicle in reverse. There was a jerk as the transmission seemed to finally engage. I thought the trans broke at the time? This has happened more then once. I have also experienced the same issue as others with the delayed shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. My explorer has just 88k miles on it.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
