NHTSA Complaint #11013086 — 2006 FORD FREESTAR

WITHOUT WARNING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION QUIT. WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD IN ANY GEAR. I HAD ENOUGH MOTION LEFT TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANS REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. HE SAID THIS THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TC FAILURES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD IT HAPPENED IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC BUT THANK GOD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IS WAS JUST A CITY STREET. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS.
