Description of the problem	I drove my car to work in the morning. At 2pm, i tried to drive, but could not. The car started, but i could not move forward or backward. I had no symptoms that a problem was about to happen before this. When the tow guy came, he moved the car by hand with the engine running. He was able to drive it a tiny bit sometimes forward and sometimes back, but sometimes not at all. We towed it to medford ford where it was diagnosed as needing a whole new computer brain. They said there was "moisture" on the computer. The estimate for repair is $1,042 plus tax. I told them we had the brain replaced 15 months ago (on 12/8/11); they said there is only a warranty for 12 months. They said that this vehicle is "notorious" for this problem. See my registered complaint on the 12/8/11 incident (safercar. Gov odi no.: 10503670). I have totally broken down in this vehicle 5 times, each for major repairs. (see also, my safercar. Gov odi no.: 10397445 for my experience with torque converter failure.)

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
