Description of the problem	My van began to lose power at certain speeds, almost skipping at times. I took the van to my personal mechanic, whom investigated the issue for 4 days, and ruled out the engine, he stated that it was the transmission. A few days later, i received a recall notice from ford informing me that the vehicle was coming under recall for the torque converter. Approximately 3 weeks ago, i took the vehicle to the ford dealership and asked them to investigate. The dealership opened at 7 am, and when they called me at 7:29 am, they swore it was not the transmission. They claimed it was the motor and could not pin point any specific reason as to why. Then they claimed that the #6 plug was misfiring 16% of the time?? I consulted with my mechanic and he stated very clearly that if that was true, my check engine light would come on and stay on. It has not. The vehicle continues to worsen every day with the skipping or stuttering. Im now only getting 13 mpg whether in town or on the highway. I don't know whether to take it to a transmission specialist to confirm or not. Apparently, from what i have researched, ford does not want to honor their recall, and is using the scape goat, " your vehicle is out of warranty, so you have to pay. "
