TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER - STRIPPED SPLINES. JUST 49,334 MILES. THIS CAR HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. DEFINITELY A PROVEN BAD PART THAT FORD SHOULD COVER. THE CAR QUIT MOVING AT MY WORKPLACE PARKING LOT. IM GRATEFUL IT WASN'T IN AN INTERSECTION. HAD TO REPLACE CONVERTER.

MY VEHICLE WITH [XXX]. I CAN NOT SHIFT MY CAR FROM PARK, OR IF I PRESS ON THE BRAKE A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND GET THE BRAKE LIGHT TO COME ON, THEY SAY ON. EVEN WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON BRAKE.

FOR THE FIRST 6 YEARS THIS CAR WAS GARAGED, AS SOON AS IT WAS PARKED OUTSIDE, EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER, A VERY BAD WATER LEAK APPEARED. I CONSTANTLY GET WATER ON THE FLOOR OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS LEAK FRIED MY BLOWER MOTOR, RESULTING IN NO HEAT. THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE LEAK IS STILL PRESENT. ONCE AGAIN, I FIND MYSELF WITH NO HEAT. THE BLOWER MOTOR WORKS, BUT IS NOT GETTING ANY POWER TO IT. THE RESISTOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, AND ALL FUSES AND RELAYS ARE FINE. DRIVING IN CONNECTICUT WITH NO HEAT IN THE WINTER IS A DIFFICULT TASK.

WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY ROAD, MY TRANSMISSION QUIT. I HAD NOTHING BUT NEUTRAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT IT WAS GOING TO FAIL, IT WENT FROM WORKING PERFECTLY TO HAVING NO GEARS (FORWARD OR REVERSE). LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT TO PARK AND WAIT FOR A TOW. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED, IT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES ON IT.
