Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING MY 2003 FORD TAURUS TO THE CORNER STORE AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE END OF OUR QUARTER MILE DRIVEWAY WERE WE THEN PUSHED IT TO THE HOUSE. I AM VERY THANKFUL THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO MY THREE CHILDREN AND I WHEN WE WERE OUT SHOPPING EARLIER THAT DAY. THIS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY FAILURE THAT I HAVE FOUND MANY CASES OF ONLINE. *TR
