Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION IN MY FORD ESCAPE XLT HAS HAD A VIBRATION FOR 2 YEARS OR SO AND I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS NOW BAD! I SPOKE WITH A FRIEND AT APPLE FORD IN LYNCHBURG VIRGINIA AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE FACTORY RECOMMENDS A FLUID FLUSH FIRST AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM! TORQUE CONVERTER MUST BE REPLACED! IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME THAT THE FACTORY IS DEFINITELY TRYING TO PATCH THE PROBLEM BY FLUSHING THE SYSTEM AND USING A NEW TYPE OF TRANSMISSION FLUID TO MASK THE PROBLEM SO THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BEFORE THE TORQUE CONVERTER FAILS AGAIN! *NM
