Consumer Description

SLOWED DOWN TO TURN LEFT ONTO SIDE ROAD, STARTED UP-HILL WENT TO SHIFT AND THEN THERE WAS NOTHING, COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD. NO FORWARD OR REVERSE. SEEMED AS THOUGH I HAD PUT VAN INTO NEUTRAL. I WAS OVER 300 MILES FROM HOME, JUST ME AND MY 2 YR OLD. TOWED BACK HOME TO TRANSMISSION GARAGE, HAD TO HAVE REBUILT FOR APPROXIMATELY $2900. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS, WHY IS FORD NOT RECALLING??? THIS VAN SEEMS TO BE MORE TROUBLE THAN IT IS WORTH. I ALSO HAD THE REPAIR TO THE BACK AXEL DONE AFTER I DISCOVERED THAT I HAD A COMPLETE CRACK THRU IT. *TR
