Description of the problem	Our 2005 mercury monterey's transmission stopped working as my wife and 4 kids were driving on a busy kansas city highway. She had vehicles behind her in front and to the side of her, now she was coasting on a 70mph highway trying to find a way to get to the shoulder with 2 kids crying and 2 yelling why are you stopping in the middle of the road. With cars swerving all around her, luckily she did make it. Now they are sitting in the van just barely off the highway for 2 hours with cars just feet away driving 70-80mph. I have to borrow another vehicle large enough to go get them, because we all can't fit in my truck. Now i'm parked behind them with flashers on trying to unload 4 kids and car seats ages 1 to 10, with cars driving by 70 to 80mph. I get them home safely. I have it towed to ford dealership they charge me 160. 00 just to tell me it has a bad transmission, output shaft or torque converter, and to fix it would be 3,000, i ask the service manager if this is a common problem, and he said no. Well as far as i'm concerned he just flat out lied. Now we all know the truth. This should be a safety recall now!!!!!
