Description of the problem	Transmission failure without warning on my 2005 mercury monterey van. This car was well maintained. Transmission fluid level was found to be okay. Torque converter failed. I was parked at the time at university parking lot where i work. Started engine, no noise or indication on electronic warning system, and when put into gear the system simply was in neutral. Had to have vehicle towed to dealers where they did the repair. They also noted no apparent indications that this was problem as they noted if there was recall that i should keep my bill and that should be covered. It was lucky that this occurred when it did as i usually travel freeway home at rush hour. No accident or other event from the occurrence - which was also a blessing. I have been a ford owner for many years and was surprised by this failure. Upon searching the internet i noted that other 2005 montereys were also showing same problem and that nhtsa was doing a study, so i felt it was important to let you know of this problem. I can imagine that this would be very unsafe if the failure had occurred when driving. Car is now repaired and appears to be in proper working order.
