Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH NO WANING. VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING ON HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. NO FORWARD OR REVERSE GEARS. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MASS AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS ON SAME TYPE FAILURE. TORQUE CONVERTER FAILS. ALL FORD KNOWLEDGEABLE MECHANICS REPAIR THESE PROBLEMS ON REGULAR BASIS. IF YOU GOOGLE "FORD TAURUS TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEMS" YOU WILL GET BACK 51,000 HITS. THAT IS A LOT FOR FORD TO SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. IT COST ME $1035.00 TO HAVE THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED ON A 2005 MODEL 52,000 MILE VEHICLE. I THINK THAT IS A PROBLEM. WE WERE VERY LUCKY BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR QUIT MOVING A SEMI TRUCK CAME VERY CLOSE TO RUNNING OVER US. I HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH FORD BY EMAIL AND LETTER AND THEY SAID TO GO AWAY. *TR
