This may be long winded but I am need of help. I have an '02 Explorer that has less than 46,000 miles and the transmission has gone south. It decided all of a sudden that it could no longer shift from second to third anymore. And there was no advance warning. When I left work Friday evening I got in my truck, started it up and drove off. Shifted fine from 1st to 2nd, but all of a sudden to get it to shift from 2nd to 3rd I had to wind the engine up to 3000-3500 rpm, get off the gas and then accelerate again to get it to shift up. Then, after the second or third time doing this, the overdrive light started blinking rapidly. Great! If I pull over and restart the car it resets the light but it still doesn't shift. Got it into the dealer Monday morning and they are telling me that they have no idea what is going on with it just that 3rd gear is gone and that they'll have to pull it out and take a look, starting with a $650. price tag just for doing that. Now I have read posts on here where people have experienced the exact same problems, so what I need is e-mails, url's, whatever I can get to document that this is a problem so I can show it to the dealer. It may not do any good, but if I have enough documentation, they hopefully can't ignore it and give me a break on the service. I am in need of help here everyone!
