This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Transmssion failed while driving at approximately 25-30 mph. No sign given during malfunction. Incident occurred at 62,990 miles. Asking NHTSA to look into this matter.
The transmission did not shift into overdrive, and the check engine light came on. When it was brought into the garage (not the Ford dealership), they put it on the computer and it showed a $12 prt and it was on the outer part of the transmission. A week later the part had still not come in, it was on back order through Ford and it took 10 days to get here, when the garage went to do the work, it showed that it was quite far into the transmission, because I did not buy the extented warrantee, it is not covered. But this car has only 59.000 miles.
While driving down the highway the transmission suddenly downshift. I immediately pulled to the shoulder of the highway and had to be towed to the repair shop. The transmission was replaced by an independent and not a factory dealer. A new transmission was purchased from laplace Ford. From what I gather looking at service bulletines on my car transmission problems seem to be a common complaint. My car was manufactured in may of 1995. It was a program car from the dealer with the remainder of the factory warranty.
Complete transmission failure. Replaced entire assembly. Commonly reported on this model via internet and personal contacts that owned Taurus'. suggest manufacturer be held liable.
The car was not running smoothly after intake manifold was replaced by dealer. Dealer did not find anything wrong with car upon complaint. This problem could have resulted in serious injury had it occurred at a higher speed.
Automatic transmission/overdrive is very hard to downshift when vehicle hits bumps on the road. Had been in the shop for repairs. Problem has not improved, but is getting steadily worse.
Transmission is down shifting on it's own and RPM's go up, engine sounds as if you are puttng it in neutral, but car does not always slow down. Overdrive does not seem to be working. Change transmission filter last year, checked fluid levels they are full.
At 61,000 miles a malfunction has ocurred within the transmission which causes the vehicle, when coming to a stop, to go into neutral even if the vehicle is in drive. Also, after stepping on the accelrator pedal the vehicle will jump, and proceed in drive. Dealership claimed that it was because owner did not change the transmission fluid, owner later discovered that there were some recalls for different VIN#S..et.
