Description of the problem	At about 75,000 miles, the vehicle would lose power while i was drivng then surge and lunge forward. At that point my check engine light came on. Scared the daylights out of me. It happened when i was on the 10 freeway coming home. I have taken the vehicle to two mechanics. The torque converter is stuck closed. I was told by both mechanics that i need a new transmission? It's the torque converter. It is a hazard for the car to surge and lunge; can cause a serious accident! How can i need a new transmission when it started @ 72,000 miles. Bad parts. Please review this problem. I need help!!!!! Please consider and review. I cant afford a new transmission.!!!
