Thank you in advance for reading this post. I sincerely appreciate it. I'll be brief here. Car bought late 2003 from a reputable Ford dealer in my area. It was a car utilized as a "loaner" or "rental" and had about 18,000 miles on the odometer. (Now has just gone over 40,000)Car has been fine since purchased and has been given the appropriate preventative as prescribed by the manufacturer, at or before the time/mileage they suggest. Several days back,my wife was at a stop light, When light went green, the car dad no drive. My son and her pushed it into a parking lot and called me. My findings were that the fluid was at the correct stage and there was no evidence of fluid burning on the stick. I knew it was not in the realm of what my abilities and had the dealership where It came from. They told us it would take a while to get to it as there were 6 other of the same make and model ahead of ours and all had the same problem. I asked the service manager if there have been any service bulletins or re-calls in that regard and he was hesitant to tell me.
This is how I find myself here. I am attempting to find others with the same problem and try to determine if this has the possibility of being a problem already known by the Ford Motor Company.
Thanks for reading this post and whatever information you may be able to provide me (and others on board) regarding the above captioned situation.
