1 Overdrive Light On problem of the 1997 Ford Taurus

Failure Date: 06/01/2002

4th gear would not engage. O/d off light flashed repeatedly. Though car was serviced one month previously and the transmission fluid was not burned, transmission disintegrated planetary gears. Metal chunks and burned fluid found when examined at the local Ford dealership. Obviously another 3. 8l/Ford transmission defect failure as is well documented. Ford has been contacted about reimbursement of the repair costs but thus far has refused. When is anyone going to finally hold them accountable for this ongoing problem in Tauruses throughout the 90's?.
