Consumer Description

DRIVING IN ROUTINE TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR APPEARED TO SHIFT TO OVERDRIVE THEN LOST ALL FORWARD DRIVE. AFTER ABOUT TWO MINUTES, THE TRANSMISSION TRIED TO ENGAGE, AND THEN LOST ALL DRIVE AGAIN ALL RECOMMENDED SERVICE HAD BEEN COMPLETED AND THE VEHICLE GAVE NO EARLY INDICATION OF FAILURE. WE CONTACTED FORD WHO SAID THEY HAD NO RECALLS AND THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. COMMENTS BY THE DRIVER OF THE TOWING SERVICE SUGGESTED OTHER ESCAPES IN THE AREA HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. FURTHER RESEARCH SUGGESTS THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAS BECOME INFAMOUS FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE. *TR
