Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 FORD TAURUS AND WAS DRIVING/ACCELERATING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. THE CAR WAS LIKE IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE. THE CAR ROLLED A BIT TO THE SIDE WITH THE IMPULSE IT HAD, BUT HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE SIDE. THE TRANSMISSION'S DRIVE AND REVERSE WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER OWNERS THAT THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL. THE CORRECTIONS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS TO (1) CHANGE THE TORQUE CONVERTER OR (2) REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. WELL OVER $1,750 IN REPAIR AND LABOR COSTS (MINIMUM). *TR
