Consumer Description

2 TRANSMISSION IN MY 2003 FORD TAURUS. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN 2005 AT 68,000 MILE AND THE SECOND TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 121,000 MILES. HAD TO PAY TO HAVE FIXED AND WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THEY SAID THEY ARE SORRY BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN HELP ME WITH. IS IT TRADITIONAL FOR A TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT EVERY 60,000 + MILES? I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MILES A HOUR WHEN THE SECOND TRANSMISSION WENT AND THE CAR REVVED UP AND WOULDN'T GO NO WHERE AND ALMOST GO REARENDED BECAUSE THERE WAS CONSTRUCTION ON HIGHWAY AND NO WHERE'S TO PULL OVER. I ALSO HAD MY GRANDSON AND DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND WE ALL WERE SCARED THAT WE WHERE GOING TO GET HIT. *TR
