| Description of the problem | 2004 ford freestar - transmission went out without any warning - i was turning a corner and heard a loud noise - the check transaxle light came on and i could not get the car to move - took to auto garage and they said they would have to replace but that they have seen this over and over with the 04 freestar. This went out in the middle of an intersection on a busy street with my 3 kids in the car. This is a dangerous problem that ford should address! |
