Description of the problem	On march 19th, i traveled to port lavaca (30 miles) to see my aunt and take her out to eat. After picking her up at her home we were on hwy. 35 travelling about 45 mph when the vehicle dropped to 20 mph and would not accelerate. I was able to maneuver it enough to move right into a driveway. The vehicle was on, but would not drive. I sat in shock with my mother, my daughter, and my aunt. I never had any warning that the transmission was going out. No noise, no trouble shifting gears, nothing. I had the van picked up and taken back to victoria and it is now at the local ford dealership waiting for us to gather the money for a new transmission (a little over $3000).
