Hello All,
I have a 16 Explorer with 36k on it. Since about 25k, I have been experiencing my transmission occasionally slamming into gear. When slowly accelerating from a red light/stop sign, mostly when shifting between 2nd and 3rd gear, engine will go from 2-3k rpm to about 5-6k rpm, hesitate, them slam into 3rd gear. This happens under normal acceleration with no deviation in throttle input. It feels like a vehicle has hit you from behind ( literal whiplash). Last time this happened it slammed into next gear so hard that my tires screeched on the pavement. This also happens at steady highway speed (4th-6th gear) when wanting to accelerate.
I have been to Ford dealership two times and they have run diagnostics and test drove. Stated they did not find any problems. At this point I believe it is dangerous to drive this crappy SUV. How do I convince the dealer this is a serious issue? Please Help!!!
Thanks,
Damian
