CONSUMER EXPERIENCED TORQUE CONVERTER FAILURE AND 3RD GEAR CLUTCH FAILURE. *JG

TORQUE CONVERTER FAILED CAUSING TRANSMISSION TO SHUDDER AT SHIFT POINTS INTO THIRD & OVERDRIVE WITH NORMAL ACCELERATION, UPON AGGRESSIVE ACCELERATION THE ENGINE TURNS TO 4,500 RPM BEFORE SHIFTING IN TO SECOND. *ET

BRAKE ROTORS WARP UNNESSESSARILY EARLY IN LIFE, FORD REPLACES PER TSB BUT NO RECALL. -- TAILLAMPS FAIL AFTER TRUNK TRAUMA (IE CLOSING IT) OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS. FORD FIXES UNDER WARRANTY, BUT NO RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE ASSEMBLIES. -- THE MN12'S 4R70W TRANSMISSION IS NOTED FOR TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER AND NUMEROUS SHIFT PROBLEMS THAT ARE ADDRESSED IN TSB'S BUT THE NUMBER OF TSB'S AND FAILURES OF THE AODE/4R70W TRANSMISSION WARRANTS A RECALL ON THE CONTROL ASSEMBLY (VALVE BODY). TRANNY IS PRONE TO FAIL.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT JUST ABOUT ANY SPEED THE CAR STARTS TO SHUDDER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS MY TORQUE CONVERTER IN MY TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED IT AT 39,000 MILES AND AT THAT TIME WE WERE TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED 3 OR MORE A WEEK BECAUSE THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT BUILT STRONG ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE SIZE MOTOR BUILT IN THE CAR. NOW AT 60,000 THE CAR IS DOING THE SAME THING BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT REPLACE IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT LASTED MORE THAN 12,00 MILES AND IT WOULD COST ME BETWEEN $700 TO$1,000 DOLLARS. PLEASE HELP I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY RIGHT NOW.

TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED AT 35,000 MILES. CAR NEVER RAN THE SAME. THIS CAR HAS HAD ALL TUNE UPS CHECKS, AND SERVICE DATES KEPT. HAS HAD 1 DRIVER. HAS NEVER BEEN "BEAT ON" .
