| Description of the problem | Late last night, my family and i were driving home when my 2004 ford freestar went from 45 mph to 0 mph. It would not go into gear. My husband and i sat on the side of road at 1 a. M. With our three small children waiting for a cab. From what i have read, this is a common occurrence. Please do something about this. I can only thank god my husband was driving and knew what was going on. Had it been me, i may have panicked causing an accident. |
