Consumer Description

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER TRANSMISSION POWER/BURNING SMELL. DRIVING IN MADISON WISCONSIN, THE 2005 FORD TAURUS SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP, BUT NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THE SYMPTOMS, TRANSMISSION ID AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ARE THE SAME AS THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH FREESTAR AND OTHER FORD MINIVANS/AUTOS. UPON CONSULTING WITH A FORD AUTHORIZED DEALER, THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN PRESSED FOR AN ANSWER, THEY DESCRIBED THE SAME SITUATION AS THE CURRENT RECALL ... AND STATED THAT MY TAURUS TRANSMISSION WAS THE SAME TRANSMISSION .. MOST LIKELY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
