| Description of the problem | There were no events leading up to the failure. The transmission of our 2004 ford freestar minivan traveling at highway speed 65 mph, during rush hour with three young children inside, simply disengaged. The engine continued to run but the van wouldn't engage in any gear. This had never happened before, and the consequence is that the care in not running. The van is currently in the repair shop and we are looking at repair costs between 2 and $3,000. |
