Consumer Description

CAR HAS/HAD BEEN DRIVING AND SHIFTING PERFECTLY,(NO SLIPPING, NO HESITATION, NOTHING). AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES, TURNING CAR OFF FOR ROUGHLY 10 MINUTES, RESTARTING AND DRIVING ABOUT 1 MILE TRANSMISSION ACTED AS IF IT WAS SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL. AFTER STOPPING, ATTEMPTED SHIFTING THROUGH ALL GEARS INCLUDING REVERSE, SAME RESULT. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND FLUID LEVEL RIGHT AT FULL MARK, AND FLUID WAS AS CLEAN AS THE DAY IT WAS NEW,(NOT BURNT AT ALL). WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL FORD DEALER THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR TAURUS AND THAT THERE IS NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS, (CUSTOMER PAY ONLY). CAR HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE IT BROKE DOWN BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING TO SEE IF FORD MAY/WILL GET FORCED TO ADDRESS THIS OBVIOUS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
