Consumer Description
MY 2001 FORD WINDSTAR VAN HAD ITS TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 47,400 MILES. THE REASON THAT IT FAILED WAS THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND TRANSMISSION TECHNICIAN ABOUT THIS AND THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM COMMON TO THIS MODEL. I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT THEY COULD DO FOR ME. TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD NOT GO WITH LESS THAN 48.000MILES ON THEM. *AK
