Major problems with transmission,

If I could give zero ratings I would this is the worst most unsafe unreliable money pit of a car I've ever owned 2005 Ford Taurus 97148 original miles problems with shifting. It's unsafe to drive.Im a single mother I've had to cancel my son last 2 Diabetes clinic app. Because the Ford Taurus is not reliable and I think Ford Motor company should do the repairs for free there was a recall
