Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ALL FORWARD POWER WAS LOST--AS IF MY CAR HAD BEEN PLACED IN NEUTRAL. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED. TRANSMISSION SHOP REPORTED THAT WORN SPLINES IN THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSED THE DIFFICULTY. NHTSA RECALL 12V-006 COVERS THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR MERCURY MONTEREY/FORD FREESTAR VEHICLES, AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER SHAFT IS THE SAME AS IN MY CAR, YET FORD SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED FOR MERCURY SABLE. FORD REP ENCOURAGED ME TO FILE THIS NHTSA REPORT. REPAIR COST ME APPROXIMATELY $2000 OUT OF POCKET. *TR
