| In the past 5 years i have replaced the torque converter and throttle position sensor 3 or more times. each time the dealer tells me it's just a faulty part. i feel that ford is refusing to except the fact that i have a defective transmission. i plan to confront the dealer one more time before contacting an attorney. | |||
