NHTSA Complaint #700421 — 1987 FORD TAURUS

THIS TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT ALMOST EVERY YEAR LIKE CLOCK WORK SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 92, AND THE PERSON WHO SOLD IT TO ME, THE ORIGINAL OWNER SOLD IT TO ME BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE TRANSMISSION JUST QUITS WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, THIS LAST TIME I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE CAR MOVED A COUPLE OF FEET INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND QUIT MOVING, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE HIT BY AN APPROACHING VEHICLE, IT THEN ENGAGED AND I WENT A COUPLE OF BLOCKS AND IT WENT OUT COMPLETELY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED. THE TIME BEFORE THIS IT WENT OUT ON THE FREEWAY WHILE I WAS IN THE NUMBER 3 LANE ALMOST GETTING ME KILLED BY NUMEROUS VEHICLES. EVERYONE I TALK TO WHO HAS A TAURUS TELLS ME THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WHICH HAS COST ME APPROXIAMETLY $7000.00 DOLLARS TO DATE. PLEASE HELP ME IN HOW TO PURSUE THIS.
