Consumer Description

THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION THAT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4-5 TIMES IN THE PAST 14 MONTHS. WHEN PULLING ONTO A ROAD FROM A STATIONARY POSITION (LIKE FROM A DRIVEWAY OR GAS STATION), THE TRANSMISSION HAD A HORRIBLE GRINDING SOUND, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AROUND FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK. IT FELT AS IF THERE WERE ROCKS IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEN, AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, IT WOULD BE BACK TO NORMAL. I TRIED TAKING IT TO THE PEGUES HURST DEALERSHIP BUT SINCE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THEY SAY THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE TAURUS X HAS ABOUT 64,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED ON ABOUT DECEMBER 7TH 2015. IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, IT COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS.
