| Description of the problem | Transmission would not move in any gear. I purchase this 2004 ford freestar brand new on 9/25/2004. The car has 48,351 miles. Never had any failures before this incident. The transmission was got messed up. I took it to the ford dealership because i have warranty. I am a bit concern because the dealership replaced the transmission with a ford swap. The other transmission has 78,863 miles. What should i do in this case because i mainly drive the family in this vehicle? The replaced transmission sounds very forceful when driven. |
