Description of the problem	Vehicle lost all power on i 95 in sc due to torque converter. It was towed to ford dealership, we rented a car to drive home to nc, over 350 miles away. Finally after 5 weeks, our vehicle is now ready to be picked up. However, it needed a new transmission, due to metal flakes in the transmission. It seems every car that has this problem with a failed torque converter needs a new transmission due to the metal flakes. Reading the blogs, transmission specialists are saying that these metal flakes are from the torque converter which is housed in the transmission. Ford's recall letters were not sent in a timely manner, we had only been gone for a week on a trip to fl and when we got home & picked up the mail, there was a recall letter. We surely never would have taken this vehicle on a trip had we known this was possible. Ford refuses to pay for anything. I would like to see research done as far as the torque converter affecting the transmissions. Thank you. *js
