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!
