I received a recall notice for the torque converter on my vehicle. I took it to the dealer for replacement of the torque converter on August, 22, 2012.

I took the vehicle to my mechanic, who was a Ford mechanic for about twenty years before he opened his own shop and he said the problem was in the torque converter. Ford service rep. Told me that since it has been over a year that I had the torque converter replaced I have to pay for all parts and labor. The van has 119,000 miles on it and I'm hoping it will last another six months so I can trade it in. But if the dealers figure out that these vehicles are going to cost them more than they're worth I probably wont get much of a trade in value. I.

My 2006 Ford Freestyle has 74575 miles and has recently started this same surge that everyone else is complaining about. . Once it starts to surge forward. . . Even with foot on the brake. . . It will often not pick up speed just limps along . . The limited power that everyone is complaining about. This only seems to happen with the a/c on and only if it is hot. Esp if sitting in traffic or idling. If foot is not firm on the brake it will jump ahead and sometimes the engine dies. Once it does that the wrench lights up on the dash and then there is very limited power. . Pressing the gas doesn't speed up the motor. . It goes, just not fast. Turn it off for 5 minutes and it starts up and runs fine (??) the check engine light came on last week for 2 days and I took it to advance auto and they gave me these codes :p2106 (limited forced power) & p061b (torque converter control module) guy there said it was probably transmission and would need to be rebuilt. . It has the cvt transmission but the gas mileage has never been over 22 and usually is about 20. I read lots of folks get 26+ it shifts smoothly and I am driving it daily. . But am fearful of running into someone. . If so many of us are having this issue why will Ford not do something about it???.
