Consumer Description

I HAVE OWN A 2000 FORD TAURUS SE IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. MY SON WAS RETURNING HOME FROM SCHOOL WHEN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED THEN STOPPED. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE RUNS FINE BUT IT WON'T MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE WHEN PLACED INTO GEAR. CONVERSING WITH OTHERS I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. IT APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT'S BEING OVERLOOKED BY FORD. THIS SITUATION IS PLACING CUSTOMERS IN DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND MY FAMILY WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS DIDN'T OCCUR ON A HIGHWAY OR PROCEEDING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. *TR
