In June of 2003 I bought my 1997 Ford Taurus with only 97,000 miles, from a used car dealership. In Sept. Of 2003 it began to leak transmission fluid and so I got that fixed and then in October I went to back out of my drive way and my car wouldn't go. I was able to push it out and found out thatit would still go foward. I drove it to my grandmother's house down the road to have it looked at and all of a sudden the steering tightened and I couldn't turn. Now my car doesn't run at all. It is the first and only car I have ever owned.
While driving, noticed overdrive light flashing, then loss of power, engine was still running, but vehicle stopped moving at approx. 60mph, found all transmission fluid had spilled out over hwy, dlr indicates trans. Hose came loose, caused fluid to leak.
