Transmission disengages/slips when vehicle comes to a stop, like when trying to merge into traffic. Transmission jumps into gear abruptly after excellerator pedal is pressed hard. This failure caused a traffic accident and injury with this owner when trying to merge onto a highway. This complaint is being repeated over and over on this web site. How many people must be injured before action is taken?
1995 ford taurus,fan motor froze, ford said they will only replace circuit breaker but not the fan which is now froze up again due to mileage (142,000). I've replaced motor no less than three times since 1997 before finding out about recall. Also I've replaced a rear motor mount two to four times since 1997. A recall on this vehicle bought or built in certain other states have recalls on what sounds to be this same problem causes engine and transmission to fall causing accident. Ford will not fix.
