Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 FORD TAURUS SES TO WORK ON 8/4/11 AND WITHOUT WARNING THE CAR STOPPED GOING! MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS +/- 126,000 MILES ON IT. IT STILL WAS RUNNING, JUST NONE OF THE GEARS WORKED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I GO TO WORK AT 7:00AM AND TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT! I WAS ALSO LUCKY TO COAST TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE LEADING UP TO THIS! I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE, HOPEFULLY FORD WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I WILL AT LEAST CALL THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET THEIR OPINION, BUT WILL PROBABLY TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE AS I AM PRETTY SURE THE PRICE WILL BE BETTER! IT SOUNDS LIKE FORD NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND MAKE THIS RIGHT! *TR
