Vehicle shifted from 2nd to 3rd harshly & od light started flashing. Did not do it every time it was driven. Called dealer and was told no recalls were listed on this type problem. Researched online and found a lot of complaints for 2000 Explorer with same problem. Transy mechanic repaired otv valve on transmission, resolved problem at my cost of $350. Something definitely wrong when this many reports are filed for same issue. Vehicle also weaves when speeds of 60 mph+ are reached as if would roll over. Shocks do not seem to be set right, very rough ride for such a luxury fitted out vehicle. First Ford I have ever owned in the 30+ years I have driven...not happy....I am selling. Give me a Pontiac anyday! Ford, take ownership!
