| Description of the problem | My van was towed to the local ford garage where we bought 5 years ago this past saturday. I was told today the problem is in the torque converter or transmission. I just found out there was a lawsuit brought upon ford because of transmission related problems in 2005 monterey's. Just a brife review shows me there are hundreds of people experiancing the same problems as i am. I also believe nhtsa investigated this problem. What bothers me the most is that i just got done paying this car off and the low mileage at the time of failure. What are my options to get relief ? Should i phone the attorneys who handled the original case? Can you give any other information such as others who my have also filed complaints similar to mine? *tt |
