| Description of the problem | I have brought my vehicle into southgate lincoln mercury in southgate mi several times prior to the torque converter repair. Since the repair i have continued to experience problems with drivability. Gas mileage has reduced greatly (was around 17-19) down to 13. 8. The vehicle drives at high rpm's and i still experience where the rpm will kick up briefly then will go back down. My complaint to the dealer was submitted again just prior to warranty expiring and now i am stuck with a vehicle that they can't seem to repair. I continue to get that they can't identify a problem.*cw |
