Consumer Description

FORD TAURUS 2010 LIMITED (15127 MILES ON CLOCK) - DRIVING AT 30MPH THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER THE CAR STALLED AND ALL POWER LOST. HAD TO COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD AND STEERING / BRAKES BECAME VERY HEAVY. THIS FAULT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS THERE IS NO WARNING AND TOTAL LOSS OF POWER. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AND I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE CAR AND CONTINUE MY JOURNEY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. JUST FEEL VERY NERVOUS NOW AS THIS IS CLEARLY A FAULT THAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED AND I'M JUST THANKFUL IT ONLY HAPPENDED AT 30 MPH AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY OTHERWISE IT COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *LN
