I have owned my current Taurus station wagon since 2003. . I have 4 grandsons whom I occasionally take on short excursions with me. It is extremely hard to fit everyone and their gear in this car. When I have to pick up people from the airport- there is a  limit of 4 adults and not much room for luggage.  After a month or so of ownership, I noticed what seemed to be  a "slippage" when pulling out from a stop. I have had this checked out at the dealership and they cannot find anything wrong... . I have very low mileage on this car- 32000- and have a concern about the transmission....
