1 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2002

Again, I am not having to install another torque converter tomorrow. My original complaint to you was for the first torque converter installed while the car was still under warranty. My original complaint has all the necessary information concerning this car. What do I have to do to get some kind of feedback or information from someone that can inform me of my options on seeing that Ford is doing something about this?I am stuck with a car that has no trade-in value( word is out on these cars) and cannot afford another automobile without a descent trade-in. I am stuck with this Ford lemon. . . . Can you not contact me via e-mail and at least let me know that you have received my complaint? I would deeply appreciate it and I would do it for you. No one deserves this trouble and no deserves to lose the time and money I have invested in this automobile. Please, please help. Thank you.

2 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2001

Started making vibration sounds( thought was road noise). Vibration became louder and I took it to trusted mechanic at aamco who told me that the Ford car I bought had problems with that particular transmission and that an expensive fluid called merchron 5(very expensive fluid) was to be put into them. This didnot work as my torque convertor needed replacing. The gentleman at aamco called an out of area Ford dealer and told them that the mileage was too low and the car to expensive for these kind of troubles. This dealer replaced torque convertor under warranty, but it is doing it again. As you can see, the mileage at which it was first repaired (37000) until now(48000), only means that I will continue to have this problem every 10 or 11k miles. This was my first major problem but in the past, this car has shut down completely, not registered any oil and because it is a southern comfort limited edition model it has a tv-vcr combo that worked for a few months and it went out. I have yet to find a repair person for this problem. Ford knew of this transmission problem and tried to cover it up. I do not wish to continue traveling long distances to find an honest Ford repair dealership when this car is nothing but a lemon. Thank you for your time and any help you might give me. Ford is ripping off thousands of consumers( they are on the internet) and they should be stopped and put completely out of business!.
