Transmission slipping off and on the past 6 months on my new 2012 Ford Explorer. I have owned it less than 2 years. I am done with Ford! Going back to GMC. I did love my SUV when I first purchased it, not anymore.

Well I thought this problem was resolved, they changed the Valve Body to the transmission. But if I don't let it warm up before I take off it still doesn't want to shift gears. Its just a big inconvenience to have to take to dealership for them to keep it and check it out. You'd think a $36,000 vehicle would be fine, but it isn't. I love the style of this SUV it's just got issues!! Come on Ford!
