.Everyone I know who has owned one of these had the transmission
suddenly and unexpectedly fail, with repair costs over the worth of
the vehicle. I know of about 5 that this has happened to with Taurus
(es?) and Sables.... What's really weird is that it always seems to
be exacty at or very very close to 150k miles. I heard there was a
factory recall for the manufacturing defect, but it affected a
narrower year range of cars than were affected by the problem. This
car is a perfect example- it has just had the engine and transmission
professionally rebuit, which a 15 year old car should not need
(unless it really has 600k miles, but I think that is a typo). Given
that this one was rebuilt 2k miles ago, I bet is has 152k miles! For
less then the cost of the rebuild they could have bought a mercedes
that would last a lifetime.
