Description of the problem	We were driving east on the pa turnpike just past hershey exit and the vehicle was set on cruise at 65mph. All of the sudden the engine went into a high rev and the tach shot up to 5000 rpm. I hit the brake to kill the cruise and then stepped on the gas and it just revved up, as i was continually losing speed. I pulled off the highway,thank god there was a pullover so i didn't have to stay on the shoulder of the road. I was dead in the water, no forward or reverse at all! No warning it just happened out of no where. I was taking my girlfriend to her doctor appoint at u of penn childrens hospital for her disease,she is severely disabled and we need the van for her power wheel chair. I am very disappointed ford will not own up to the failures in this particular transmission. There are complaints all over the web about this model and it's failing transmissions at 70 to 80 k miles. We are both disabled and now have no transportation and no way to pay for a $2500-$3400 transmission replacement!
