| Description of the problem | I received recall on my freestar in 2012, on the torque converter, it was fixed but had started to slip shortly after getting it fixed. 16 months later i found myself without any power. I took it to shop and was told it was on recall but since i had it fixed 16 months prior that it no longer was warranted. If they replaced the torque converter with a "fixed" one then i should not have had trouble so soon. Ford is wanting me to pay 1800 to fix their mess up.. I wonder what my rights are? |
