Wife was taking kids to karate, went to pull out from intersection and all of sudden vehicle would not move, it would roll but had no power in any gear. Almost caused an accident but luckily did not. Had van towed to carson ford who replaced torque converter for $1200.
Our 2005 ford freestar has only 46,000 miles on it. December 23, 2007, two days before christmas, the transmission/transaxle indicator light come on as the transmission downshifted suddenly at 55mph. We took to the threlkeld ford dealership and they said the shifting solenoids had to be replaced for $1,012.00.
My car showed no signs of anything wrong..not even a light on the dashboard came on. I was doing about 40mph and it was as if someone threw me into neutral and the car wouldn't move in either direction at all.
2005 ford freestar van went into neutral while driving down the road at 55mph once it stopped it would not move. Only has 38500 mi. Dealer says it needs new torque converter for only $1200-$1500 and it's out of warr. I went online and found out I was not the only one with problems. It's less than 3yr old but 2500mi over warr. Now I know why everybody is buying foreign cars.
On dec 15,2007 my pregnant wife and 3 children were going shopping. As they were driving up a incline the vehicle just started racing as in neutral. My wife pulled the vehicle over as best she could due to a low shoulder,still in the road. She removed the kids and brought them up an embankment so if the vehicle was hit they would be safe. A friend towed us to a level spot and I checked the linkage and fluid levels. There appears to be no problem with either and there was no sign that this was going to happen. The transmission just quit and upon researching I found out that this isn't an isolated problem and that I'm not alone. If this happened at a busier time I think it could have been fatal because of the larger increased traffic. Please help as this is are primary vehicle and my wife is due in march.
Transmission broke @ 50,000 miles without warning. I just bought this van 8 months ago, and now im making payments on a van I cannot drive.
