Taurus 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Purchased a 2001 Taurus in 2004 with 26000 miles. Had transmission issues within 2 months. Dealer reflashed transmission under warranty of used car dealer. Now the transmission is still not working right, and is on the verge of failure. I already had a code for torque converter come up, but it doesn't show any more.
