Consumer Description

STARTED MY 2003 FORD TAURUS TO GO TO WORK. MY CAR WAS PARKED ON A DOWNWARD SLOPED DRIVEWAY AS IT HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS. AS I WENT TO PUT IT IN REVERSE IT ROLLED DOWN THE INCLINE. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE BUT EACH TIME IT ROLLED DOWN THE INCLINE. AFTER ALMOST HITTING MY BACKYARD FENCE I CUT THE CAR OFF AND CALLED IN LATE FOR WORK. I REALIZE ALL CARS HAVE THINGS THAT MIGHT HAVE TO BE REPLACED OR WORKED ON BUT GIVEN THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE AMONG THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS FORD SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT WITH PEOPLE WHO TRUSTED THE COMPANY ENOUGH TO BUY THEIR PRODUCT. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE CAUSED NEAR ACCIDENTS. I COULD HAVE ENDED UP DESTROYING MY FENCE AND ENTERING THE CREEK THAT RUNS ALONG MY BACKYARD. MY MECHANIC SAID THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION INVOLVING THE TORQUE CONVERTER. FORD PLEASE PAY FOR THE DEFECT IN YOUR PRODUCT SO I CAN TRUST YOU AGAIN. *TR
