Consumer Description

I'LL ADD MY CAR TO THE LIST OF SABLE/TAURUS TRANSMISSION FAILURES. FAILED WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE CAR SUDDENLY CAME OUT OF GEAR AND THE RPMS SHOT WAY UP. IT'S AT A TRANSMISSION SHOP NOW BUT IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME FAILURE AS HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ONLINE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH BAD TORQUE CONVERTERS/INPUT SHAFTS. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL/INVESTIGATION GOING ON FOR THIS ISSUE. I PROBABLY WON'T KEEP THE CAR AFTER IT'S REPAIRED AS MANY HAVE REPORTED REPEAT FAILURES ON REBUILT TRANSMISSIONS EVEN THOUGH I'LL BE OUT AROUND $2000.00. I DON'T TRUST THE CAR ANYMORE. *TR
