Consumer Description

I OWN A 2008 FORD TAURUS X AWD. I NOTICED A PUDDLE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE ALONG THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD FRONT TRANSMISSION SEAL. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD TAKE FROM FIVE TO TWENTY FIVE DAYS TO COMPLETE DUE TO A BACKLOG OF APPROXIMATELY 3,000 VEHICLES (TAURUS, TAURUS X) NATIONWIDE NECESSITATING THIS PART REPLACEMENT. WHY WOULDN'T THIS BE MADE PART OF A NATIONWIDE RECALL OR AT LEAST A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN? QUALITY IS SUPPOSED TO BE "JOB NUMBER ONE" AT FORD. *TR
