Q: My 2005 Ford Explorer has a big issue. It was running fine at 82,000 miles when I took it to an oil change place. They sold me two tires and within a week my transmission was acting weird. I took it to them and they said “sorry, tires and oil changes is all we do, we don’t have mechanics for ‘big repairs.’” Can you help? I don’t have money for a new transmission. – Mike C.

A: Hi Mike,

Sorry for your troubles. I can say that this is a familiar problem for All Wheel Drive vehicles. If you had come to Tire Pros of Frederick, not only would you buy tires for less than anywhere else in Frederick, but we would have told you to nurse your tires and budget until you could afford four tires at the same time. These AWD systems are very sensitive and uneven tire size is most likely your issue. Drive slow and easy. This will ruin your transmission if you do not address it quickly. Tire Pros of Frederick will safety check your car for FREE with no appointment at 1427 West Patrick Street in Frederick. Ask for Mr. Ellingson. I think we should be able to fix it with two tires, matching your new ones and it will be less than you paid before. Hope to see you today!
