Consumer Description

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR JUST DIED. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SAFETY OF A PARKING LOT, AND I AM LUCKY I MADE IT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS TRANSMISSION IN THIS MODEL YEAR. I ALSO UNDERSTAND FROM A FORD DEALER MECHANIC THAT THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN RECALLED IN ASSOCIATION WITH A TRUCK IN WHICH THE SAME TRANSMISSION WAS USED BUT THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IN THE FORD TAURUS. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. *TR
