Regarding Gen 2, V8 (6 speed auto tranny):
I just came back from getting my wheels rotated & balanced & oil changed.
While I was there, I stepped inside the Service Center just to ask a couple of questions.
I asked about the transmission downshift/tranny bump issue. He knew exactly what I was talking about and apparently they are working on getting a fix out real soon.
I know that some of us have heard this before so I don't mean to get anyone's hopes up. We all know that the service guys don't always know as much as they say they do. At the time though there was also a tech in the office and he confirmed that it is coming, they just don't have a date yet.
Also, this may be old news to some of you, but apparently they just had a recall on the Expeditions regarding the same issue. He told me that the Expedition one came out a week or two ago and it shouldn't be too much longer before the Explorer one is released.
I just thought I'd throw this little bit of information out there incase any of you are at the shop any time soon & might be able to confirm that there is any truth to what I have been told.
Like I said, this may be old news to some of you & a continuation to the rumors, but it was new news to me and hope that there might be a chance! (I'm not holding my breath, but I will be calling this guy in a few weeks.)
