| Description of the problem | Last couple of years since the warranty went out, the vehicle seems to be slipping when accelerating from a stop. Dealership won't do anything without us paying a large sum of money to fix it. We have had the torque converter replaced three times. The last time was by the ford dealership due to the recall. I have seen many similar issues with same make, model, and year on blogs and forums. Would love for ford to remedy this issue without us having to spend money that we don't have. This is a serious safety issue!!! At a busy intersection, the tranny slipping could easily put one in harms way. *js |
