Ford Explorer Change Vehicle

"Shifts rough in 1st and 2nd gear up and down and is especially noticeable in stop and go traffic"

"On three separate occasions the vehicle has had issues accelerating from a stop, always in a turn. The vehicle will lurch, shift very hard, then lock itself in a gear, usually second or fourth. It will remain in this gear until you put in it park and shut off the vehicle. It feels like when you drive a manual and don't release the clutch all the way. I have had it happen on right hand and left hand turns and it is causing me to questions it's safety. We will be taking it into the dealer for repairs soon."

"Transmission would not shift gears when leaving parking lot. Sometimes I would be driving on the freeway and it would not shift gears or it would stop driving forward and the engine would rev up very high. This happened a few times and sometimes it would correct itself when I would stop on turn the car off then back on. I eventually had to have it towed to the dealership where I bought it. They said it was a known problem from Ford and they reprogrammed the transmission computer. Then I had to take it back to the dealership a couple of months later because they had another recall on the transmission and it had to be reprogrammed again."

"Transmission would not shift up past 2nd gear and shift extremely rough"

"I am left to believe the the issues I have had with the transmission are the result of software issues."

"The transmission cooler began leaking fluid into the ground at approximately 7000 miles. The part was on backorder. This is a common issue with the new 2020 Explorer."

"Sync 3 is slow to respond and constantly updating. When you put car in reverse you have to wait for backup camera to display. Backup camera fills less than a quarter of the 10 inch screen which makes it hard to see. 10 inch screen is in an awkward location, should be in the landscape position not portrait."

"The first time it starting jerking and would no go over 20 miles an hour-had to have car towed to the dealership. They said it was a "computer glitch". The second time it would just not start. Would not do anything. Again had to have towed to dealership. They could not find anything wrong with it. I would trade it in but would lose too much $ and Ford Headquarters does not respond to my letters. I am still waiting for reimbursement for the expenses incurred with the first breakdown. There is a reason FORD is known as Found on Road Dead. This is a PRIME EXAMPLE! Traded my CRV HONDA for this . . wish I had it back!"
