Taurus 6-cyl

  • 67,000 miles
Transmission failure while traveling at 65 mph on interestate. The transmission shifted roughly while in overdrive, causing the engine to race and bog down. Service engine soon light came on. Estimated cost of repair is $1600. This occured even after the lube tube was replaced by Ford as part of a recall program.

Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 99,427 miles
While turning into a parking place at the movie theater, the car suddenly seemed to have slipped into neutral gear, even though the gear indicator did not move from the drive position. I tried to change into reverse and drive and low gears but the car did not move. I had to have it towed and ended up needing $2,000 worth of transmission repairs. I bought the car(used-one previous owner) in Aug 2001 and I still have an auto loan which I am paying, so this bill has devastated me. I have had several "major" problems with the car, but this was the worst.
