| Description of the problem | Vehicle was making a sound kind of like a misfire in the air intake or back fire in the exhaust. Listened several times and sounded like the noise was actually coming from under the vehicle. Took it for a diagnosis to j&a transmission in morris, il their diagnosis was it's the torque converter which is a recall for this year make and model but ford is unwilling to help us be safe and repair the issue since our vin isn't listed in their system for the recall. Nhtsa issued the recall for all 2004-05 models. See pe09-033 |
