Consumer Description

MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE APRIL 2013 THIS VEHICLE HAS STARTED STALLING AT STOP SIGNS AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS, WHEN SHIFTING GEARS THE VEHICLE'S GAS WOULD HAVE TO BE SLIGHTLY ACCELERATED FIRST AND THEN IT WOULD MOVE IN ITS GEAR WITH FORCE. STARTING IN JULY ALL THE VEHICLE'S POWER WOULD CUT OFF AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS AND WOULD HAVE TO BE RESTARTED. AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE OF THE 2013 RECALL FOR THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND TAKING IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, IT WAS THEN TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP SERVICE REP THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE FLUIDS FROM THE TORQUE CONVERTER AFFECTING THE TRANSMISSION AND DAMAGING IT. THIS HAS TAKEN PLACE SEPT. 2013. *TR
