problem #1

Taurus

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
When vehicle was placed in park, and when it was started later in the day, vehicle was unable to move. Shifter cable broke, causing consumer not to be able to change any of the gears. Shifter cable braking is due to design flaw and many other consumers had this problem. The manufacturer did not issue recall notice but is aware of the problem.
