| Description of the problem | We have a 2004 ford freestar. It ran perfectly until december 2009 when it suddenly starting sputtering badly and seemed to be slipping. We parked it that night after driving straight home. The next day we could barely get it to move, like it didn't want to get in gear. We have left it parked since then as we can't afford to get it fixed. This is awful as i am a cancer patient, we have a 3 year old child and a baby on the way. |
