| Description of the problem | While driving my 2004 ford freestar minivan, at approximately 45mph (miles per hour), the vehicle begins to shudder as if i am driving over rumble strips and when climbing slight or steap inclined hills the shidder worsens. I purchased the vehicle ised from a car lot. I have moticed that all of the ford freestar roums state that there is a recall on the torque converter. I looked up my vinfor recalls and it states that there are no recalls fornmy vehicle. I wonder if the original recall has already been taken care of by the previous owner and the replacement part is faulty as the ms. Azose v. Ford motor company class action lawsuit states it is. Any insight on this matter would be extremely helpful. Thanks |
