I believe that the transmission when out due to the torque converter going out. At the time of the torque converter was replaced the car was still under warranty. I believe Ford is responsible as regularly scheduled maintenance was performed per there maintenance schedule, and at their dealership.

I purchased this vehicle brand new. Within a year or so of purchasing we noticed some chugging with acceleration. Started out around the 20-30mph area. When we took to out local Ford dealer for routine maintenance we mentioned and they said they didn't find anything wrong. We chalked it up to our imagination. As time progressed it seemed to get worse. We mentioned it a couple more times and they said they didn't hear of an issue or find anything with the inspections. Come to October of 2023 when we were feeling it even at speeds on the interstate, we again took it it. The service man then told us that this is happening with multiple vehicles. They thought they had a fix, but within 2 weeks it returned on other people. He said hold on. We are in contact with Ford to see what to do. He will let me know. Then in March 2024, I became so frustrated I called them again asking if they heard anything from Ford. He said bring it in. I asked if that was something they were taking care of or I was responsible for. He responded, let's just get it in and see. I got a call the back after his 'inspection' to tell me the 'fix' didn't work but it was only $70 and we needed a new transmission that was $4500. I was so flustered at that point, I had him call my husband. (I was literally on my way to hospital with an emergency). This has been ongoing for years and I have been pushed off and now that it's not under warranty I am responsible for something that they don't even know is wrong. I have been recommended to read Ford blogs regarding this and this is a know problem with vehicle and a know tactic with dealerships to avoid responsibility. Frustrated!!!!

At approximately 61,000 miles, car would hesitate and sputter while driving. No warning lights appeared on dashboard to indicate any issues. I took the car Ford for inspection, and was told by Ford that I needed a new torque convertor. I had the dealership complete repairs at a considerable cost.
