Consumer Description

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL THROUGH A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA, MY TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING MANY (THANKFULLY) ALERT DRIVERS TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO MISS ME WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T GO. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE TRANSMISSIONS, MOST NOTABLY 2003 MODEL YEAR, IN THE TAURUS' HAVE A BAD REPUTATION FOR THIS YET FORD REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE THIS. MANY JUST GIVE OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I PRAY MY CHILDREN AREN'T WITH ME IF ANY SUCH OCCURS AGAIN AFTER I REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION...NO RECALL THAT I'M AWARE OF. *TR
