Ford Taurus Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Nov 23, 2010
Reported on Nov 23, 2010
| I OWN A 2003 FORD TAURUS LX AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER ON 11/23. MILEAGE IS 71,000. I WAS DRIVING ON A RATHER BUSY ROAD AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A NOISE AND THE CAR NO LONGER RESPONDED EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND THE ROAD WAS NOT HEAVILY TRAVELED AT THE TIME. I AM THANKFUL FOR THAT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT INTO THE POST OFFICE DRIVEWAY AND A KIND GENTLEMAN PUSHED ME BECAUSE I WAS BLOCKING THE ACCESS ROAD TO THE PARKING LOT. I COULD GO NO FURTHER. CAR WAS TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP BUT AN ESTIMATE IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. *TR | |
