I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE - 11S25/NHTSA RECALL 12V-006 IN MARCH, 2012. THIS RECALL RELATES IS REGARDING A WORN SPLINE IN THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER. FORD CLAIMS PARTS WOULD BE IN 2ND QUARTER OF 2012. I CALLED MY DEALER, AND TOLD PARTS WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL 1ST WEEK IN JUNE. WAITED. CALLED DEALER AND FORD - PARTS NOW WILL BE IN THE END OF JUNE. SO I CALLED [XXX] AT VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE CASE # [XXX] AND MADE COMPLAINT. CALLED FTC ON 6/7/12 AND ALSO MADE COMPLAINT. REFERENCE # [XXX]. JUNE AND THEN JULY CAME AND WENT - NO PARTS. AUGUST - I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM FORD STATING THE PARTS ARE IN, AND THEY WANT TO HAVE THE "RECALL PERFORMED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE" CALLED MY FORD DEALER THE DAY THE LETTER ARRIVED- THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET, AND THEY WOULD CALL. IT IS SEPTEMBER 4. LABOR DAY HAS COME AND GONE - NO FIXED VAN. OBVIOUSLY THEY SAY RECALL, BUT HAVE NO INTENTION OF FIXING MY VEHICLE. FEBRUARY 19, 2009 MY VAN BROKE DOWN. I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO "ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION DIAG NO PUMP PRESSURE HAS INTERNAL BROKEN PART NEED TO R&I TRANS-AXLE. FOUND STRIPPED PUMP SHAFT INTO TORQUE. REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER" THIS COST ME $1829.60. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT. MY DEALER IS CLAIMING I CANNOT EVEN SUBMIT THIS BILL TO FORD FOR "POTENTIALLY" REIMBURSEMENT, (BY A FORD COMMITTEE OF COURSE) FOR THIS UNTIL MY VAN IS WORKED ON - ONCE HE PARTS FROM THE RECALL ARE IN. I FEEL I HAVE PAID FOR THIS RECALL ALREADY, AND AM BEING TOTALLY SCREWED. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME - INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AS PER YOUR WEBSITE DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS. MY 2005 MERCURY MONTEREY I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE RPM ROSE UP RAPIDLY. I AT FIRST THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL. BUT NO IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. AS YOUR INVESTIGATION SHOWS IT WAS A STRIPPED OUTPUT SHAFT AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I AM HAVING IT REPAIRED TODAY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF FORD IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ??? MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 69,000 MILES ON IT. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 75 AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING I HEARD A LOUD WHINING NOISE AND I HAD NO FORWARD POWER. I SOMEHOW WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I REQUIRED A TOW AND AM BEING TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE, COSTING OVER $3000 TO REPAIR. I NOW KNOW THAT NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SUDDEN TRANSMISSION FAILURE HAVE BEEN MADE. I BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WE HAD NO PRIOR WARNING, THE CAR HAD NEVER HAD ANY HESITATION, JERKING OR ANY SIGNS OF DISTRESS. THANKFULLY WE HAD JUST PULLED OFF THE INTERSTATE. WE PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE WE COASTED TO A STOP. *TR

THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT ON MY 2005 MERCURY MONTEREY VAN. THIS HAPPENED AFTER REPORTING TRANSMISSION ISSUES TO BOTH HASTINGS FORD AND WHITAKER LINCOLN MERCURY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 8/22/2005, WHICH WAS THE PURCHASE DATE OF MY VAN. WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING, THE VAN LOST POWER AND IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS DRIVING IN NEUTRAL. THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER WHERE A COUPLE OF GUYS THEN HAD TO PUSH THE VAN SO THAT IT WAS OUT OF HARMS WAY. AFTER HAVING THE VAN TOWED TO HASTINGS FORD AND DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, I'M NOW FINDING THAT MANY OTHER 2005 MERCURY MONTEREY VANS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS MY VAN. IT WAS INTERESTING AND A LITTLE ODD TO ME THAT THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT HAVING TO TAKE ANYTHING APART. THIS TO ME NOW INDICATES THAT FORD IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I FIND IT VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT HASTINGS FORD DID NOT MENTION ANY OF THIS TO ME BEFORE THEY STARTED SERVICING THE VAN. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THAT I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE REPORTED AND DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS SEVERAL TIMES, MANY OF WHICH WERE WELL WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. MY OTHER COMPLAINT IS THAT FORD SEEMS TO BE DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT WAS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION THAT I WAS IN WHEN I TOTALLY LOST POWER. I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE WHEN MY PROBLEM HAPPENED. I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO COAST CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I HATE TO THINK IF I WAS GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND I NEEDED TO GET OVER MULTIPLE LANES TO A SHOULDER OR A SAFE PART OF THE ROAD. *TR

ON FEB 7, 2011,AFTER EXITING I10, I STOPPED MY 2005 MONTEREY VAN AT MY GRANDSON'S HOME. AS I RESTARTED I BACKED OUT AND SWITCHED TO FORWARD GEAR. AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, NOTHING HAPPENED. I TRIED ALL GEARS AND SAME RESULT. CHECKING GOOGLE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF 2005 MONTEREY VANS AND MERCURY/FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECTIFY THIS MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. MY DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME A PRICE OF OVER$2,100 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FORD'S BILL AND I SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIIBLE FOR THEIR EXTREMELY POOR ENGINEERING. *TR
