Consumer Description

DRIVING AT APPROX. 30MPH AND MY CAR ACTED LIKE I JUST THREW IT INTO NEUTRAL. ANY GEAR I TRIED TO PUT IT INTO ACTED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL. MY TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPAIRED. I AM READING THE MESSAGE BOARDS AND SEEING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT IN THE FORD TAURUS. SOME WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS GOING FROM 65MPH TO 0. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE TAURUS TRANSMISSIONS. MY MECHANIC STATED THAT HE'S FIXED AROUND 20 OF THEM IN THE PAST YEAR, THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THEM. *TR
