Consumer Description

I have done research along with my mechanic and have found that models just like mine or are the titaniums, have the Shutter problem that I am having with mine that are due to the torque converter in the transmission once the vehicle hits 150,000 miles or more. Due to the fact that this is a common problem, I think it should be considered as a recall instead of having to pay $6,000 to have the transmission replaced or are forced to trade the vehicle in before 200,000 miles because the person does not have $6,000 just laying around! It seems to happen with the models that have the turbo & eco boost in them.
