Consumer Description

I WAS TAKING MY SON TO PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR A STROKE HE HAD. THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD TO FIND A PLACE PULL OVER AND COAST TO A STOP. AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES, I STARTED THE CAR AND WE WENT ON WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. HOWEVER, OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, IT HAS SHUT OFF ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. NO ONE COULD FIND THE ANSWER UNTIL RECENTLY. WE REPLACED A CENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION AND HOPE THAT FIXES IT. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED ON THE OCCASIONS THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC. WE RECENTLY LEARNED THAT FORD KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM. OUR TRANSMISSION DATE IS SEPTEMBER 2007, WHICH IS IN THE TIME FRAME FORD SAYS THEY KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR IT CAUSED US. *TR
