While driving vehicle on the highway at 65 MPH transmission failed and driver was unable to control the vehicle. The vehicle spun out of control and the driver and vehicle ended up in the ditch. Fortunately, there were no other cars nearby and the driver was not injured. The vehicle was towed to kirk ford sales inc. Who stated that the transmission failure was caused because all of the oil leaked out of the transmission and that ford ranger pickups for particular years had that problem because the transmission plugs were made of plastic and either leaked or fell out. Driver had no indication prior to accident that transmission was leaking and never saw any leakage of transmission fluid when the vehicle was parked. The vehicle was operating normally before the accident.
