Consumer Description

WHILE IN DRIVE (IN A RAINY NIGHT) VEHICLE JUST COASTED TO A STOP. I HAD NO WORKING GEARS - VEHICLE ACTED LIKE BEING IN 'NEUTRAL' NO MATTER WHAT WAS SELECTED. TOWED TO PUNDMANN FORD AND DIAGNOSED AS A TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM THAT ALSO RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. DEALER QUOTE "DIAG REMOVED TRANS ASSY REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER O/D DRUM FORWARD CLUTCH AND O/D BAND ALL PISTONS AND SEALS ROAD TEST". SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FIX. FOUND OUT RECALL IN 2004 AND 2005 MODELS FOR SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS SAME PROBLEM AND 2006S SHOULD BE INCLUDED. SHOCKING THAT A TRANSMISSION GOES COMPLETELY OUT AT 47,000 MILES.
