NHTSA Complaint #10369090 — 2003 FORD TAURUS

I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I JUST BROKE MY NECK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO SO IT WAS HARD FOR ME ALONE TO PUSH THE CARD TO SAFE AREA. THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2003 FORD TAURUS WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS WOULD NOT GO FURTHER LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TRIED PUTTING IT INTO DRIVE, REVERSE AND THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THE MOTOR WOULD REV UP LIKE IT WAS IN PARK. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL FORD. FORD NEEDS TO RECALL THIS MODEL OR AT LEAST PAY TO FIX ALL THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS I AM READING ABOUT. THE AMOUNT THAT IT COST TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION IS THE SAME AMOUNT THE CAR IS WORTH IF THAT. WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET FORD INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS REALLY LEAVES A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH ABOUT FORD. ONE UNHAPPY CUSTOMER TELLS THE WHOLE WORLD 100 HAPPY CUSTOMERS BARLEY GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT A COMPANY, BUT I BELIEVE IF FORD WOULD DO A RECALL ON THESE 2003 TAURUS TRANSMISSIONS EVERYBODY WOULD CHANGE THEIR MIND ABOUT HOW FORD DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. ALL THESE TRANSMISSION COMPLIANT SOUND THE SAME. SO IT MUST BE THE PRODUCT NOT THE DRIVER. *TR
