NHTSA Complaint #10383267 — 2001 FORD WINDSTAR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2010. TWO MONTHS AFTER BUYING IT I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM L.A. AND DIDN'T NOTICE UNTIL TO LATE THAT THE OD OFF LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I HAD IT TOWED TO AMMCO AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT AND THAT THE TRANS HAD TO BE REPLACED. SO THIS IS WHAT I HAD DONE. SINCE I HAD THIS REPLACEMENT DONE WITH THE TRANSMISSION I HAVE HAD THE OD OFF LIGHT FLASH ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY. EVERY TIME THE LIGHT COMES ON I RUN IT BACK OVER TO AMMCO AND THEY TEST IT TO FIND THE SAME CODE OVER AND OVER, TORQUE CONVERTER/CLUTCH ERROR. THEY HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION A SECOND TIME, CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND SPOKE WITH SEVERAL SOURCES OF THEIRS AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE SINCE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT CAN BE DONE AND THINK THAT IT MAY BE CAUSED BY THE ABS/BRAKE LIGHT OCCASIONALLY COMING ON. *LN
