Consumer Description

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OF THIS VEHICLE LITERALLY FELL APART, WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING OPERATED. LUCKILY MY WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED! AFTER HAVING THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT AND FIXED, WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANICS THAT A GEAR BROKE, AS A RESULT OF POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. AS A RESULT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESTROYED. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT WE COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. FORD HAS A LONG HISTORY WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS IN THE FORD TAURUS. FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. A TRANSMISSION WITH 42,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT JUST FALL APART!*AK
