Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON 2003 FORD TAURUS. CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE. ON-COMING TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP OR SWERVE TO AVOID MY STOPPED CAR. THIS HAPPENED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OR PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. I FOUND 68 OTHER DOCUMENTED CASES IDENTICAL TO THIS INCIDENT. TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE HAS TOWED 68 CASES HIMSELF AND WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED FORD AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE#[XXX] BUT WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RE-CALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS DEFINITELY A "LIFE-THREATENING" SITUATION. PLEASE READ THE OTHER INCIDENT REPORTS AT HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/TAURUS/2003/TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION_FAILED.SHTM POLICE WERE ON SITE BUT DON'T KNOW IF A REPORT WAS GENERATED. THEY PUSHED CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
