Description of the problem	In november of 2013, our 2004 ford freestar quit working. Yes, we had the torque converter recalled and put on back when they had that recall. November was the first time we had this happen to our car. It was raining, and our car would not go into gear, it quit working. What made this bad is that it was on the freeway! My husband put it into neutral, but we still did not have steering capabilities and managed to get us over to the shoulder. We had to be towed to a dealership. The dealership then stated that many people were having the same issue with the electronics getting wet, so he dried it, then let it set for a couple days and caulked it. We thought that would end those problems. Not. (note: this had cost us 450. 00) then less than 2 months, the same exact thing happens, only this time we are stuck in a shopping center and could not get our car into gear again. We took it back to the dealership to which they replied that we needed a new electric module. How much? $1500. 00!!! In less than 2 months, we spent almost 2,000. 00! This was done in february. Here it is now april and guess what? The same exact problem is taking place again!! We are not alone, there are many people facing the same problems we have had, look around at the boards online and you will see that everyone has the same issues!! Some investigations need to be opened or reopened as this is not resolved and lawsuits will be filed if someone gets hurt. *js

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
