Equipment problem #1

The transmission is having a shuddering issue, and looking online there on tons and tons of people having the same issue and stating it’s the torque converter and this is over many different years and variants of my vehicle… how is this not a recall yet?? people are having this issue right after purchase?.

Equipment problem #2

Hello - this is not a safety issue with my car. For the moment. Inputting the VIN it states that there is only 1 row of seats (d/p). This is not accurate. There are 3 seat rows in my van. (front x2, middle x3 and rear seats x2) total of 7 seats. Thus this should be corrected for my VIN. If or when I have a complaint about the safety of the seats, belts, head rests etc. . . It will make sense. I do not have a cargo van. It's a seven passenger seat van.

Equipment problem #3

My vehicle is less than 5 years old, 10 months out of warranty. The locks stopped working. They made the noise, but no action. So, I thought the locks were still working. The dealership had no idea what the issue was - they've had my vehicle for almost a month trying to figure it out. So far they've changed the body control module and are getting another part. Ford will do nothing even though locks should be something always covered or at least for 5 years. No warnings. This put me at risk as I camp in the vehicle and didn't know it wasn't locking (because it made the noise like it was).
