I have a 2003 Ford Taurus. Transmission question

I have a 2003 Ford Taurus. Was running and driving great. Was driving down the highway and the car quit going forward, Pulled over and shifted gears, the car will not move forward or backwards. Was running great before this. No signs of any transmission problems. Someone said it could be the moduator? Any answers or advice would be greatly appreciated

SOURCE: 2000 ford taurus- wont shift into gear

first check drive axels , since you replaced front springs on struts i assume. it is possible that one of the axels popped out. next if thats ok check fluid level in trans with eng OFF should show over full make a srcribe mark on the stick. then START the eng it should go down to full or just below depends if trans is full or a little low . if level does not drop approx.1/2 in or so then have a transmission shop check for bad splines in torque convertor, that is a comon problem in that car, year and milage do not play a roll a large roll in parts failure in trans any more. not like it use-to.

Windstar tranny problem: just got off phone with Northway Transmission of Queensbury, NY Technician said the torque converter had destroyed itself. the pump drive spline in converter broke and took out fins in torque converter it's going to cost me nearly $1600.00 car has only 45000mi on it and I caught it rather quickly and DID NOT TOW had car moved by flatbed/ramp truck otherwise they would have had to completly tear down transmission. (over $2300.00)

SOURCE: Transmission suddenly quit working

if the car doesn't move then the speedo would not move, right? or do u mean something else? yours trans has failed or the trans digital range selector switch is bad, have a scanner put on the system and see if any trouble codes are present.

My 2003 ford taurus overheats when driving around town, stop & go, but on highway temperature goes back to normal

I had the same problem with my 99 ford taurus. My ford taurus did exactly did same things that your vehicle is doing. runs cool on the freeway because the air is going through the radiator and cooling the water down.I checked the cooling fans, radiator and hoses for leaks also replaced my thermostat. nothing solved the problem. turns out that the new antifreeze does not come with a lubercant property any longer. you have to buy the lubercant additive separately and then add it to your cooling system when you replace the antifreeze. the lubercant protects your freeze plugs, water pump, radiator, thermastat from rusting out. Meanwhile because of the absents of the lubercant, my water pump impellers rusted out and dissolved. so the water pump had no fins to circulate the water. Luckly for me, I discovered that my car was still under warranty due to an extended warranty I had purchased when I bought the car. ford dealership replaced the water pump. Problem Solved.

We have a 2002 Ford Taurus with 77000 miles. It was running great but now when we hit the highway or when we go around 50-60 mph the trac control indicator goes off and the car don't accelerate. It feel...

Sounds like you have a bad speed sensor on the ABS. Have the ABS scanned for codes. If you want to test this, unplug one of the speed sensors. The ABS light should come on and disable the traction control system. Then the transmission should work fine. If it does, diagnose the ABS/Traction control system.

1997 ford taurus wont shift when hot

If the check engine light is on you should get the codes checked for free at someplace like autozone etc. This could be the torque conver clutch solenoid or the speedometer sensor that causes this.

2003 Ford Taurus, 81,000 miles. MPG down to 19-20. Car has no mechanical or electronic issues and runs great. Good brakes, no drag in chassis. New plugs, wires, Cam position sensor and air filter....

I would check for vacuum leaks. And clean the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body. (use break clean) spray the sensor and use a toothbrush on the throttle plate and as far as you can reach in it. I would also replace the air and fuel filters if you haven't done this with in a year.
