Description of the problem	My vehicle was inspected the same day the transmission went. My brother was driving it home from the (non-ford) dealership, where he works. I had not had any transmission problems previously. This is what he sent me: "i made a left hand turn out of wawa into the center lane. There was no one coming so i gave it a little more throttle just to gain speed so i could get over into the actual lane. When i did this it almost felt like the trans went from grabbing to just "revving" with no power. I coasted it into giant's parking lot. Once stopped i tried all the gears and it would just rev up and not move." a few days later i had the van towed to a local mechanic. He then told me that "the pump went" and that i needed a new transmission. He also told me to check for recalls because it might have one and it would be fixed for free, instead of paying him tons of money (which i find admirable). With just a little research i found the recall on the 04 & 05's (nhtsa action number ea09016). I sent him the articles and links i found to ask if this was my problem, he said yes. This minivan is less than 8 years and has just under 80k miles on it (manufactured in 2/06 but not purchased until the end of april). It's not hard to figure out that i drive less than 10,000 miles per year. It shouldn't need a new transmission! My husband's saturn has almost 200k on it and not needed any major work like this. I fully expected to keep this minivan around for a lot longer than this. It makes me really sad to think of her just sitting in a lot of other non-working jalopies! I was shocked to see lots of the same thing happening to others here on this website with the same vehicle. Please help us! Recall this model year!!! Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
