Description of the problem	I bought my 2004 ford freestar used in february of 2006 from eastern motors and had nothing but problems with it. First it needed a tune-up then the coil pack went bad and now needs brakes and tires. But my main concern is my trans-axle light coming on. I am a mechanic so i scanned it on obd-ii scanner,it told me that my torque-converter was stuck in the open position. So it needed to be replaced. I called ford because i cant get it aftermarket and they said it would cost me 300. 00 for it. But the problem is i can't afford it and its on back order for who knows how long . Ford cant get until they get some in. Its 2007 and the problem is still there it bucks around while driving and it doesn't go into gear right away. Also when you turn the wheel while driving it makes a squeaking noise at the front wheels and the whole front end shakes wile driving 45 + mph. According to my vin there is nothing wrong (yeah right bs) if i didn't owe so much on this van i would get rid of it or better yet( set it on fire my self) so i wouldn't have to deal with it any more. I have seen the other complaints that people wrote and i agree this is (bs )and ford sucks because they don't want to take care of their customer. *jb
