Consumer Description

I was driving along, approaching an intersection, and suddenly my car had no gears! The rpm's went sky high when I pressed on the gas but I had no drive. Thankfully I was able to coast to a turning lane and into a parking lot without incident. There had been no warning lights or funny noises and this was completely unexpected and could have caused an accident! I had to call a tow truck and the ford dealer that I took it to is now telling me the transmission needs replaced and that this is a common problem with this vehicle! And this is only 4 months after they replaced the engine that was bad! Shame on ford for not recalling this vehicle!
