Replying to: mschmal (Jan 04, 2007 12:14 pm) Have had the car now for 2 months. I'm used to it. I still hate it. Incidentally, if you were ever in a side impact and had your ribs cracked by a hard plastic door handle I bet you would run to the court house to sue Ford for putting the handle where it could crack your ribs. Now, c'mon, you don't know anything about me! FYI, I sit too high for it to crack anything but maybe my cell phone on my belt. Secondly, my last 5 Explorers had no projectile items to crush my ribs, and were easy to close. This is just a hideous design, and if you designed it, then shame on you. Don't know why anybody else would defend it. Lastly, I don't sue over accidents. Actually, I don't sue over anything product related - being one of the old fashioned guys who thinks there is some risk in driving, and I accept that. I appreciate all the safety features in today's cars, and I use seat belts. But I may get hit, I may hit someone, if I get hurt, it's not the car's fault, and Ford should not have to guarantee their product for life. |

Replying to: nvbanker (Jan 09, 2007 8:57 pm) Or how about a spiffy ballcap?

2006 Explorer XLT V8 6 speed. Around 6k miles I started to have this problem, if I drive in slow traffic, lots of stop start, when I try to pull away from stationary (Traffic lights), the tranny will drag, pushing down pedal & truck hardly moves. Could be dangerous if trying to pull out of side rd. Have taken to dealer 3-4 times, they can't replicate, connected to test equipement. Truck now 17k miles, still an intermittent problem. Any ideas? Thanks.

Replying to: frrussre (Jan 10, 2007 1:43 pm) 2) How do you resolve it? Does restarting the engine fix it until next time? Because, that's exactly what mine does, only it does it in reverse, only when cold starting, first start of the day. It's in the dealer right now for resolution..... |

Replying to: nvbanker (Jan 11, 2007 10:18 am) If you remember, I had a 2004, 5 solenoids, back axle whine, A/C problems. This was the replacement, was good for a while. Now not sure, 1 yr old. Reg. |
