Consumer Description

TORQUE CONVERTER ON 2005 FORD TAURUS BLEW UP. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR JUST STOPPED. IN ADDITION TO DELAYING TRAFFIC IT WAS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN WHO WERE IN THE CAR WITH MY. THE MECHANIC WHO FIXED MY CAR SHOWED ME THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND THE METAL HAD TURNED BLUE FROM BEING HEATED TO AN EXTREME HEAT. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER BLEW UP SENDING METAL PIECES INTO MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND I THINK IT IS TIME THAT FORD IS HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR AN OBVIOUSLY FAULTY PART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
