We have leased a 2001 Ford Windstar and have had it for approximately 2 years, taking out 15,000 miles per year. Several days ago, we could not move the car after we stopped at a light. We finally had to have it towed at our expense and found out that the whole transmission had been "blown. " (only after 40,000 miles. ) we felt that our safety was at stake, since no warning signs within the van, told us that the problem existed and we were at a major intersection, which could have resulted in some serious injuries.
