Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS AT A STOP SIGN ON AN INCLINE, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO TURN AND EXPERIENCED WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A CRASH. THE VAN WOULD NOT GO FORWARD, ONLY REVERSE. SHE COASTED BACKWARDS DOWN THE HILL, WE GOT A TOW TRUCK AND WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP (AFTER BUSINESS HOURS). THEY CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION BASICALLY EXPLODED ON THE INSIDE. ONE SITE I HAVE VISITED HAS 41 COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE, YET FORD IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE "DESIGN FLAW" IN THE 2000 WINDSTAR VAN TRANSMISSIONS. *TR
