Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR WITH ONE OF OUR GRANDKIDS IN THE BACK SEAT. SHE PULLED OFF A MAIN ROAD TO A SIDE STREET, SHE WENT ABOUT 50 YARDS AND THE CAR STOPPED GOING FORWARD. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING FINE, BUT THERE WAS NO DRIVE FROM THE TRANSMISSION NO MATER WHICH GEAR SHE PUT IT INTO. EVIDENTLY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR INDICATION SUCH AS LEAKED TRANSMISSION FLUID, A TROUBLE LIGHT INDICATION AND NO SOUND.THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF IT HAD FAILED IN THE INTERSECTION THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT.I AM EXTREMELY UPSET AND DISAPPOINTED WITH FORD'S HANDLING OF THIS FAILURE OF THERE PRODUCT. *TR
