Ford Explorer Transmission Repair | Charlotte NC

  
  
  
  

Transmission problems in Ford Explorers are one of the most commonly complained about issues of any car on the road. With a typical repair cost over $2,000 it's easy to see why owners are so upset. One dealer even claims that 1 out of every 10 Explorer's from the early 2000 model years will have transmission failure at some point.

What signs can you look for when it comes to transmission failure?

Transmission Slipping
Transmission Shifts Hard
Transmission Failure
O/D Light is flashing
Gear shift broke while shifting
Shifter won't align properly
No Reverse or Forward (or both)
Vehicle vibrates while driving
Leaking transmission oil
Transmission Solenoid Failure
Loss of gears

Other signs that point toward a transmission repair include clunking / rattling / grinding noises while accelerating or trouble shifting between gears. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please contact Charlotte's Best Transmission Repair Shop, Twin Automotive & Transmission Repair. It is always best to call before a simple problem grows into a large, costly repair.

The worst model years for the Ford Explorer are shown below.

My 2007 Explorer sport trac v8 has about 50000 miles on it and I have trouble with  
 
a jackrabbit throttle and when you step on the gas going up a hill or just speeding up it sounds like the transmission is going to fall on the ground also if you do not wait a couple of seconds at the stop before taking off, the transmission will kick and appear to fall back into first gear. 
 
. I have had it in once at the dealer and they had change oil and filter, after that was running smooth for just about a week then problem came back. 
 
Hope to get feedback from you. 
 
Thanks,

I have a 1995 Ford Falcon Futura 4sp auto which seems to have problems starting. It appears to not recognise PARK. Q: Is the solanoid on the outside of the gearbox or inside?
