Consumer Description

2003 FORD TAURUS, TRANSMISSION FAILS. IT DIES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING AND FORD SAYS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. OF COURSE NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO REPAIR MY CAR. STARTED IN SEPT OF 07 WITH 73,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THAT IT IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. INTERESTING THAT HE CAN GET THE CAR TO SHOW SYMPTOMS, BUT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, AFTER THEY HAD IT OFF AND ON FOR 2 MONTHS. FORD REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND FILTER AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS UNDER WARRANTY WITH FORD NOW. THIS IS STRICTLY NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF FORD. THEY PUT A CAR OUT THERE THAT THEY KNOW HAS TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. SHAME ON FORD. *TR
