After making abrupt stop half mile before incident to avoid accident, I came to a stop at a stop sign. When I went to enter a main highway, my transmission slipped and left me non mobile in the intersection, almost causing me to get hit broadside. Had to get out in traffic to push my vehicle off highway. Many exact transmission problems for this vehicle already posted on internet I see. Very dangerous.

Transmission problem. O/d light blinking. Transmission instantly started to slip in 3rd gear under acceleration. Over 8,000 complaints listed but ford says that is not enough for recall. This transmission has a history of problems, that can cause major problems while driving. Biggest one is lose of acceleration in traffic. This transmission has a lengthy bad history. It is the 5r55 series transmission, starting with the faulty solenoid pack. If you look at this transmissions history, you will find the same complaints about it over and over again, slipping while in gear failure to shift, o/d light blinks then goes out, trans failing at 50,000m, 60,000m. I am on my second pair of tires and the transmission is failing. I drive less than 8700 miles per year and maintain my vehicle very well. This type of failure should not have occurred. I think ford is aware of the problem but refuses to do anything about it till they will be forced to do something.

The body mounts have deteriorated to a point that they are crumbling and are not supporting the frame to the body and need to be replaced for safety reasons. The transmission failed without any warning and had to be rebuilt. Neither of these problems should exist on a vehicle that is well maintained and has only 52,000 miles. These problems appear to be common with this vehicle and need to be addressed by ford.

I come to realize in the automotive industry vehicles do not a transmission gauge. Transmission sensory light to let you know when your transmission fluid is getting low. This is a problem for me and many more americans. My ford explorer sport trac do not have a transmission sensory light or a gauge. The transmission is slipping and not shipping out gears right. Someone is responsible for this problem. We have all other fluid gauges except a transmission gauge.

I never have any warning before my transmission slips while driving my 2002 ford explorer sport trac. My transmission slips when it shifts from 2nd gear into 3rd gear, after the transmission slips my od dash light begins flashing; this problem has been happening since the first month I that I have owned (april 2007, with 77,000 miles). I have attempted to get the dealership to diagnose the problem, but they will not touch it unless I paid $195. I cannot afford to have that done unless the cost goes towards a repair. I have researched this problem on the internet and I found numerous complaints about this transmission issue happening.
