Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY ROLLED TO A STOP. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR REVERSE. TURNS OUT IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTER (TRANSMISSION). IT COST $1200 TO REPAIR. VERY UNUSUAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO A CAR WITH ONLY 49000 MILES. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND GOT MANY HITS. FORD HAD RECALLED THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHY NOT THE 2006? *TR
