Consumer Description

I WAS ABOUT 75 MILES FROM HOME TRAVELING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 87 @65 MPH.I HAD PASSED A SEMI. AND PULLED BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE. THE TAURUS SHUDDERED AND SHOOK AND IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO 45 MPH. I PUT ON THE 4WAY FLASHERS AND PULLED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED AAA AND HAD TO BE FLAT-BEDDED OFF THE INTERSTATE BACK TO MY HOME. THE FORD MOTOR CO. 'S PROBLEMS WITH THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE FORWARD CLUTCH PISTON IN THE AXOD-E TRANSMISSION HAVE BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED BEGINNING IN YHE 1986 MODEL YEAR. BUT THE 1991 SEEMS TO FAIL THE MOST . USUALLY IN THE 60-80K RANGE. JUST MY LUCK, I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 76K ON IT AND ONLY GOT 6000 MILES OUT OF IT. THE TRANSMISSION WILL COST BETWEEN $900-$1200 TO REPLACE. FORD DID HAVE AN ONP ADDRESSING THESE FAILURES AND DID ,IN THE PAST,REIMBURSE FOR CORRECTING THEM.*AK
