POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HADE BEEN DRIVING THE VAN FOR APPROXIMATLY 125 MILES, CAME TO A STOPLIGHT CLOSE TO MY HOME. STOPPED AT THE LIGHT, AND WHEN I TRYED TO GO FORWARD EHRN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THERE WAS NO POWER TO THEE TRANSMISSION, THE ENGINE ONLY REVED UP. I WAS FACING DOWNHILL, AND ROLLED INTO A STORE PARKING LOT. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND VERY SIMILAR CERCUMSTANCES WITH MANY OTHER FREESTARS. FORD HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER FOR THE 2004-05 FREESTARS, BUT NOT THE 2006, WHICH HAS THE SAME PART. ALL FREESTARS WITH THIS SAME PART SHULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED, NOT JUST 2 OUT OF 4 YEARS. I FEEL VERY CHEATED AND NOW I AM FACING A VERY LARGE REPAIR BILL.

WE HAVE A 2006 FORD FREESTAR THAT HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER 85,000 MILES. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THE 2004 & 2005 MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THERE APPEARS TO BE ISSUES WITH THE 2006 TRANSMISSION BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I WOULD LIKE FORD TO BE MANDATED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DIFFERENT THINGS ARE HAPPENING. MY VAN IDLES AT A HIGHER RPM. MY VAN DOESNT WANT TO CRANK ON THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. MY VAN IS POSSIBLY MISS-FIRING. MY FRONT WIPER MOTOR HAS STOPPED. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED. NOW MY BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON BUT THEN MAY GO OFF. MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN IDLES, MY BATTERY LIGHT IS ON. NOTHING BUT THE ENGINE CRANKED, BUT BATTERY LIGHT IS ON. MY BATTERY WAS REPLACED WITH IN 6 MONTHS BEFORE THIS. SOMETIMES THE SIDE DOORS DECIDE TO OPEN WHEN BUTTON IS PUSHED AND SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH WATER GETTING INTO THE PCM. WATER SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET INTO THIS AREA. THERE IS NOT TIME FRAME AS TO HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN DAMAGED, BUT IT IS A PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WHEN RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FIND THAT THIS IS ALMOST EVERYONE'S ANSWER TO THEIR PROBLEM, I FEEL THAT IT IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION FROM FORD TO RECOGNIZE AGAIN. YES SOMETIMES THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE DUE TO SOMETHING ELSE BUT WHEN ALL OF THE OTHER ITEMS HAVE BEEN FIXED OR REPLACED AND IT CONTINUES THEN IT IS A PROBLEM.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AS VEHICLE APPEARS TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO OVER DRIVE THERE IS A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE HAD VEHICLE CHECK BY A PROFESSIONAL REPAIR FACILITY AND BEEN ADVISED THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS BAD. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL, ALTHOUGH I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. I AM HOPING THAT A REVISION CAN BE DONE ON THIS VEHICLE AND ALL OTHERS LIKE CAN BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
