1 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 05/28/2001

After coming off a green light, at about 15 mph, transmission fluid began to leak and the rpm's revved with no further acceleration. After having vehicle towed to aamco, I was advised that the front seal had a major leak and failed along with the stador and transmission. I asked hayward Ford for recall or technical service issues and was told that there weren't any. I also called the Ford coroporate office and was told that there were no issues with the transmission. And I was told that there the Ford engineers would be forwarded the message, but wouldn't be giving me a call nor the information I needed.

3 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 11/01/1998

This is the second 1996 Ford Taurus that I have owned. I traded the first one for my current vehicle when it was about to get its third transmission installed. I have had the transmission replaced in my present Taurus at 26800 miles(approx. ) and have developed a transmission fluid leak in this transmission. I am approaching my wits end with this situation and would like to know what can be done. I am receiving no help from my dealer. Thanks.
