| Description of the problem | Without warning in heavy traffic the transmission quit. Would not go forward or backward in any gear. I had enough motion left to get it to the side of the road. Had it towed to a trans repair shop and was told it was most likely the torque converter. He said this these vehicles have had numerous tc failures. This could have been a very dangerous situation had it happened in interstate traffic but thank god even though it was in heavy traffic is was just a city street. I think ford should be responsible for the repairs. |
