My 2000 Ford Taurus transmission is not working. The car only has 45,567 miles on it, and are the original ones as checked by car facts. One day as I was driving down a major highway in atlanta, georgia my vehicle stopped in the middle of ongoing traffic. If I didn't turn on my hazard lights and lift the front hood on my vehicle, I could have been hit, injured or killed. I have heard numerous people stating that their Ford Taurus has transmission problems. So, why has the manufacturer not recalled this car? the only warning I had was the day before when fluid leaked from under the car hood. I am very upset because I always get my vehicle maintenance and get oil changes every 3,000 miles.
