Experienced transmission hesitation while slowing down into a turn and rough transition ( banging) when reapplying acceleration coming out of the turn. Ford dealer reports after diagnostic and tear down that problem was in transmission forward clutches and torque convertor and needed replacement. Transmission only has 48500 miles and only 3 years old. Problem started about 46000 miles with only subtle rough transient shifting at first. Problem grew worse with banging and whole car vibration at times. Ford customer service center has been contacted and will contact service manager for a detailed explanation of what could have caused problem so that a decision can be reached for an out of warranty component financial assistance situation.
