Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 FORD TAURUS, WITH 66K THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING. SHE WAS HEADED FOR HOME WITH MY GRAND KIDS WHEN THE ENGINE ACCELERATION INCREASED AND THE CAR STOPPED MOVING FORWARD. LUCKY SHE WASN'T ON A BUSY HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A WIDE SPOT IN THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION QUIT WORKING WITHOUT WARNING WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS HAD SHE BEEN ON THE EXPRESS WAY, IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION OR PASSING ON A TWO LANE ROAD. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I RESEARCHED OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME YEAR TAURUS AND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY! I STRONGLY FEEL THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND INTEND TO REPORT THIS TO FORD AND THE AUTO SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. I ALSO INTEND TO MAKE A POST ON WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND SUGGEST OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM DO THE SAME. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE! *TR
