THE SPINES IN THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER FAIL BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT HARDENED . WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE STOPS AND CAN NOT MOVE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS , AND AT SOME POINT ( IF IT HASN'T ALREADY) WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AND POSSIBLE DEATH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DROVE TO THE STORE THAT DAY. WE HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF RAIN. WHEN DONE AT THE STORE GOT IN THE VAN AND IT STARTED FINE BUT WHEN YOU PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL THE RPM WOULD RACE UP BUT THE VAN WOULD GO NO WHERE. THE FORD DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PCM SENSOR BECAUSE IT HAD WATER IN IT. IT WAS RUNNING BUT NOT LIKE BEFORE. TOOK BACK THE VAN ON 4/21/11. ENGINE RUNS FINE. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND VAN STARTED SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS CHOKING. STOPPED THE VAN AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT RAN FINE. TWO DAYS LATER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND THE VAN DID NOT WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. MY HUSBAND BARELY GOT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT JUST COMPLETELY DIED ON HIM ONCE. ONCE THE DEALERSHIP HAD IT THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. JUST HAD A SPEED SENSOR CHANGED ON IT ON 11/15/11 THEY HAD THE VAN FOR 8 DAYS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. NOW JUST TONIGHT, WHEN YOU PUT THE VAN IN ANY GEAR THE RPMS DROP AND THE SHIFTING IS DELAYED. I AM GUESSING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH TRANSMISSION. HOW CAN I EVER TRUST THE FORD COMPANY AGAIN? I HAVE BEEN READING TOO MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE VAN TOMORROW TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT AGAIN?! HELP!!! I ALSO READ I NEED TO CALL FORD FOR THEM TO HAVE SOME MANY COMPLAINTS FOR A RECALL IS THIS TRUE? *TR
