NHTSA Complaint #10366798 — 2003 FORD TAURUS

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2003 FORD TAURUS SES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING MY CAR YESTERDAY GETTING READY TO PULL ONTO A HEAVILY TRAVELED HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WENT OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR PREVIOUS INDICATION. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 72,210 MILES ON IT AND FROM WHAT I'VE DISCOVERED ON OTHER COMPLAINT WEBSITES THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON THING ESPECIALLY WITH THE 2003 YEARS. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME BEING A LOYAL FORD CUSTOMER THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RESOLVE THIS. IT HAS CLEARLY BEEN EXPOSED AS AN ISSUE WITH FORD AND THEY ARE TAKING NO RESPONSIBILITY?!? THE WORST PART OF THIS ISSUE IS THAT NOT ONLY DID MY WIFE, AND FIVE MONTH OLD CHILD STALL OUT HALF ON, HALF OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, BUT A LOADED ROCK TRUCK ALMOST TOOK HER AND AN ONCOMING VEHICLE OUT IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO AVOID AN ALMOST CERTAIN INCIDENT. THANK GOD MY FAMILY IS SAFE AND NO HARM WAS DONE, BUT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT FORD'S IGNORANCE OF QUALITY AND MORE IMPORTANTLY SAFETY! *TR
