Consumer Description

I SPENT 4 HOURS AT NIGHT WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. ALL MOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TRYING TO GET THIS POS OFF THE ROAD. THAT WAS $150 FOR THE TOW AND NOW I NEED TO SPEND MORE TO GET THIS 2004 TAURUS RUNNING. I AM A FORD FAN AS YOU CAN TELL BY MY EMAIL ADDRESS. I EVEN DRAG RACE MUSTANGS. I AM THINKING ABOUT GOING HONDA FOR MY DAILY DRIVER. PROBLEM WAS A IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED TORQUE CONVERTER SPLINE. HAS LEFT 100'S IF NOT 1000'S OF US STRANDED. GIVES OUT WITH NO WARNING. CAR JUST STOPS MOVING. CAR WAS DOWN FOR 1 WEEK AND COST ENDED UP BEING JUST OVER $1000. *TR
