Consumer Description

NO WARNING LEADING TO FAILURE, VEHICLE JUST COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO POWER THE TIRES. TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED WITH NO WARNING, ENGINE REVS, BUT NO POWER TO THE TIRES TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ON A VERY WELL TRAVELED ROAD RT 4 IN AUBURN ME HAD TO PUSH THE VEHICLE ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET IT TO SAFETY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE FORD WINDSTAR, CONSIDERABLY MORE PREVALENT THAN THE CURRENT REAR AXLE RECALL. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST FORD AND NHTSA FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING FAILURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE AND I DO THINK IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP. *TR
