Consumer Description
I have taken my car to 4 different service technicians/mechanics and I have been told that there was nothing wrong with my car only for the issue to increasingly get worse. Two of the mechanics, including the Ford dealership, charged me diagnostic fees of $120 and $175. They both confirmed that the transmission was the cause of the issue. The torque converter was established as the primary cause of concern and issue. My car only has 59,959 miles on it, the transmission should not be going out. I have looked at reviews for my vehicle online and many others have experienced similar issues with the torque converter breaking down almost immediately at 40-90,000 miles. I think that because of this unacceptable occurrence, there should be recalls on these vehicles.
