Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING A 2000 FORD WINDSTAR THAT HAD BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVERY CHECKUP, THE TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO GO OUT. I HAD PARKED THE CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO GO FORWARD, NOTHING HAPPENED. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING GREAT UP UNTIL THIS POINT AND THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS OF THE TRANSMISSION BEING READY TO GIVE. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO GET A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PART, BUT HAVE HEARD IT IS A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM AMONG '99-'03 WINDSTARS. *TR
