Description of the problem	Vehicle has 88k miles and has run just fine until today. This morning i was driving in to work, stopped for a light, when light changed i pressed the accelerator, the engine responded but i didn't move. No warning, no lights came on, no movement in any gear selection, only "park" works. As a teenager i 100% disassembled and rebuilt several engines so i know a little something beyond which end of the wrench to hold. This was sudden and unexpected! My wife has e-mailed me several blogs on this matter and it seems quite prevalent. My experience exactly matches that on several others and that is uncanny in my opinion. The blogs claim the torque converter or the torque converter output shaft; they also claim the transmission is for the taurus which is about 1000 pounds lighter, thus the failure. I've had the vehicle towed to my mechanic, but after reading the blogs i don't need him to tell me what is wrong. If this happens as others have attested then this is a very serious safety issue. It is too late for a recall to help me - i'm trading the vehicle this weekend! I was going to west texas this weekend - thank god it happened in san antonio, otherwise i could be broken-down in a real 'middle of no where'. By the way, the vehicle has relatively easy miles even though i live in a metro area. Virtually all the miles are on this vehicle are high speed and constant as most is on the interstate or like roadways; very little has been slow stop and go city street type traffic; no steep grades to climb either.

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.
