My 1999 Ford Taurus with the 3.0 Vulcan V-6 that I bought in 2006
is having transmission problems,
as I was driving, the car seemed to go into Neutral and not shift,
barely making it to a parking lot where I called for a Tow.
I've had previous trans problems with rough shifting since I bought the
car.,that I have been living with. Now mileage is 149,000 ,trans repair,overhaul
estimate as $1500 o$2300, not worth the value of the car , I understand from Reading
that this is a common problem with this year Taurus,the AX4S (AXOD-E) Ford transmission .
I had better hopes for the longevity of this car, had the fluid changed once @ 60,0000
miles, maybe not regularly enough.Although the fluid level was being maintained.
Mr. Ford, if you are reading this I am accepting offers for this disabled (bull) Taurus.
Maybe your Techs can use it for research to develop a car that never breaks Down...
.....hhhuuuurrruumph.....
had fluid, well maintained. went into neutral on its own while driving at 40 mph, first time issue. will not go into any gear now, at dealer and not sure what to do.
