| Description of the problem | My daughter's boyfriend was driving our 2004 ford freestar home from his work on interstate 70 yesterday. He had it set on cruise and suddenly the rpm shot up to max and the vehicle was not being propelled any longer. He immediately pulled out of traffic and stopped on the side of the interstate. When he did it, the shifter would move, but no gear, including reverse would engage. I have read many complaints of the very same issue today and i'm just adding ours to the list.
