2003 FORD TAURUS WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES. COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AUTOMATIC OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE EARLIER IN THE DAY, THEN MY WAS GOING TO MY DAUGHTERS HOME, WHEN SHE STOPPED FOR A STOP SIGN BY MY DAUGHTERS HOME, THE CAR PULLED AWAY AND STOPPED ACCELERATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. SHE WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING FROM ADIFFERENT DIRECTION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF SHE HAD BEEN ON AN INTERSTATE OR OPEN ROAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OF ANY TYPE THAT A PROBLEM WAS FORTHCOMING. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS. ROUGH ESTIMATES $2000 +/-. FORD ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS, BUT WILL NOT DISCOUNT ANY REPAIR OR HELP CUSTOMER IN ANY WAY. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET ON THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME RESULT. NO HELP FROM FORD. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED, BECAUSE ACCIDENTS COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED FROM THIS CONDITION. *TR
