I recently had the bad fortune of having the transmission go out on my 2000 2wd Ford Explorer. I had driven on a long road trip and was at the very end when it went out so in that fact I was lucky. In taking my Explorer to a local shop to have it replaced he commented on how many same model Explorers he has replaced the transmissions for. He even made the comment that I got 100,000 miles out of mine and I should be grateful. In fact of the 15 cars he had in the shop at the time 3 were 2000 Ford Explorers.

Have there been any papers or recalls filed by Ford for transmission problems?
