Consumer Description

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED TODAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC NO WARNING, VERY SCARY. I GOOGLED FOR KNOW PROBLEMS ONLY TO FIND OUT I AM NOT ALONE, IT APPEARS THERE ARE MORE THAN FEW HUNDRED OWNERS OF 2003 WIND STARS WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS FAILURES. HOW COME THIS IS NOT A RECALL, WHEN YOU ARE TRAVELING 60 MPH CENTER LANE AND YOUR TRANSMISSION QUITS NO WARNING. IT WAS JUST THE BLESSING OF GOD I GOT OUT OF THAT SITUATION WITHOUT BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED AND I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME. FORD KNOWS ABOUT IT AND HAS NOT EVEN TRIED TO MAKE THE PUBLIC AWARE THAT THIS HAS AND COULD HAPPEN WITHOUT WARNING PLACING OWNERS IN WHAT COULD BE A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. *TR
