Description of the problem	I was notified of a safety recall on my mini van, called the local dealer was told that i would get a call back as they did not have the part to fix it yet. Never got the call back, finally got to take it in and after the dealer having it for 4 days i get a call and am informed of "internal failure of transmission" , was told the cost to repair the transmission. I did some checking and ford has known about this issue since 2005, my van is a 2005. There have been complaints about getting the torque convertor replaced and shortly thereafter the consumer is informed of the "internal failure of transmission". Seems to me that this falls under the "cause and effect" syndrome , ie the torque convertor fingers break loose (tiny fragments) and follow the fluid down into the tranny and presto your tranny goes out. Ford should cover this repair, i have the extended coverage but it is gonna be close on the expiration of coverage. I think someone should gather all of the injured consumers and sue ford. I called ford at 1-800-565-3673 and made a consumer complaint.
