| Description of the problem | While driving, the vehicle suddenly lost forward gear. After coasting to the side of the road we found that the vehicle has lost both forward and reverse gears. The vehicle could not be moved under its own power. Nothing else on the vehicle was affected. Ford has a powertrain recall for the torque converter on the same model vehicle produced in 2004 and 2005. The 2006 model has the same powertrain components and it seems that the recall should be extended to the 2006 model also. |
