2016 Ford Explorer 4dr SUV
turbocharged 280hp 2.3L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 77500 mi C $55 |
Reverse shift solenoid. Problem was [repaired] under warranty at 95k, replaced and was fine up until now. Having issues again at 140k approx. Looking for part number and going to replace as it is very jarring when placed in reverse and requires increase in rpm to shift in reverse. My understanding the solenoid has a screen on it which plugs with transmission particals and need to increase pressure to flow fluid to shift. |
| 31000 mi | Trans Axle Seal Leaking |
| 70000 mi | Transmission was grinding and shifting erractically. A complete rebuild was done. Complete transmission rebuild |
