Description of the problem	Vehicle had sudden loss of motive power while driving straight and accelerating to 60mph highway speeds, almost causing multi-car accident. After coasting to shoulder, the transmission would not engage in any forward or reverse gear. This serious safety defect could have lead to the death of myself and my family of five. Towed vehicle to the local dealership who told us they were aware of a recall for the 2005 mercury monterey regarding that issue and ford's recall campaign number is 11s25. The recall described this exact failure. ("summary: ford is recalling certain model year 2004 and 2005 ford freestar and mercury monterey vehicles. The torque converter output shaft may fail.") however, after they entered the vin number for my vehicle, they said the recall was not extended to that vehicle. That is wrong since this is a serious safety issue and would cause injury or death.
