Good afternoon all.
I love my contour but it is driving me (literally crazy). On Feb 16th, I had all sorts of trouble and brought the car to the ford dealership. They told me 3 seals had broken and charged me 10 hours to replace all three. They assured me that since the rips on the seal happened so suddenly the day before that nothing else was wrong at all. Charged me over 11k CAN.
Anyway, since then, on 4 different occasions, while driving home from work (about 41miles -- or 62km -- highway at 120Km on the cruise typically for app 90% of that), when getting to my home, the transmission would bang very hardly on gear changes. I wuold get home, turn off the car.
The next morning, there was never a spill on the ground and the car would drive absolutely fine. Like I said this happened 4 times. Only on the fourth time was there ever a Check Engine Light on.
Last time this happened, with the light and bangs was Friday. I brought it to the dealer on Saturday who said they couldn't see me before today(Wednesday). I got a call back just now saying that the code in the CEL was a TORQUE converter code.
They said on the phone that back in Feb all tests lead them to believe everything was alright then. The person I spoke to said they reprogrammed the transmission to adjust it. They said they did plenty of hot start tests today and that it went well but that they want to keep it overnight to do a cold start test tomorrow.
I am very worried that I will have more problems very, very soon and I don't know what to do. I can't seem to find anything about "reprogramming" the Torque converter on here like the person on the phone mentioned. What do you all think?
