Sounds like the transmission pump gear may have broken. This will make a "ping" or pop" sound and then the transmission loses all hydraulic pressure. It doesn't leak, but without the pressure from the pump, it cannot generate the pressures needed to move the vehicle. Have the transmission checked and serviced if necessary.

Sorry to say i had the same problem. the spline between the engine and the trans sheared. I complained to Ford customer service and they were able to help with the cost but it still cost about 1500

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)

it sound like you have a vacum leak or your shifter cable may need adjusted
