I can vouch personally for the Ford transmission problem.
The car was a '67 Mercury wagon.  One morning I backed it out
of the garage, put it in Park, got out, walked around behind
the car to close the garage door.  As I got my hand on the
door, I heard a click, and turned around to see the Merc
pile into my son's car, caving in a fender and breaking
a tail light.  It was some time later that the stories
about the Ford transmission started coming out.

Wish I still had that Merc, though.  That 390 engine was
a joy to drive.
