Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY SIX YEAR OLD VEHICLE FAILED AFTER ONLY 79,000 MILES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTED INCIDENTS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR THE 2005 FORD TAURUS (PLEASE SEE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/FORD/TAURUS/2005/TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION_FAILURE.SHTML FOR A LIST OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS). I BELIEVE THAT NHTSA NEEDS TO CONDUCT A FULL INVESTIGATION OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO ENSURE THAT IT IS FOLLOWING SAFETY AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS. SURELY, A DEFECTIVE AND FAULTY TRANSMISSION IS NOT WHAT CONSUMERS SHOULD EXPECT WHEN PURCHASING A VEHICLE. I NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THEIR VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE. SINCE FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUE, I EXPECT THE NHTSA, AS A GOVERNMENT AGENCY, TO FULFILL ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSUMERS TO INVESTIGATE THE CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY OF 2005 FORD TAURUS TRANSMISSIONS. I APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE, AND I AM WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY NECESSARY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *KB
