NHTSA Complaint #11064205 — 2004 MERCURY MONTEREY

AS OF TODAY, JANUARY 22, 2018, I HAD TO HAVE THE VAN TOWED TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AS YESTERDAY, JANUARY 21, 2018, THE TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP WHILE IN LIGHT TRAFFIC. PRAISE GOD WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT UNTIL THE WRECKER CAME. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE IT HAS BECOME CLEAR THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS AND REPEAT INCIDENTS WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY TORQUE CONVERTERS. THE SHOP I'VE TAKING MINE TO ACTUALLY REBUILDS THEM. AS FOR THE INCIDENT WHICH OCCURRED ON THE 21ST, WAS DRIVING WHEN A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND ONCE VAN WAS PULLED OFF ROAD AND PARKED, CAR WAS STILL RUNNING; HOWEVER, NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I WOULD PUT IT IN, THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT, JUST REVVING.
