Does the Explorer have a bad track record when it comes to transmissions? Mine went bad @70,000 miles and the Ford garage put a NEW one in 34 months (and 70,000)miles ago and now a local garage who came highly recommended says I need a new one again. I took it to the garage last week because the O/D light was blinking but it ran fine. They said it needed 2 new sensors (heat and speed) and it cost me $400.00, and when I went to pick it up they said I need a new transmission and it will not go past 2nd gear or 30mph. Why does it run worse with 2 new sensors?
My warrenty with Ford was 36 months/ 36,000 miles.

That shop needs to undo whatever they did. Going in for an O/D light flashing and coming out with only second gear isn't right.
They've done something and I couldn't tell you what. Either left a wire disconnected or blown a fuse while they were working on it.
I hate hearing about shops like this, they make all mechanics look bad.
