| Description of the problem | My ford freestar 2004 had complete mobility failure in intersection,was said to have bad transmission was replaced problems of motor failure continued had towed 10 x's with my investigations we found water in the pcm replaced computer problem of water regained many attempts to reseal while transmission reaffected then replaced throttle sensor have spent over $4000. 00 while ford offers no compensation or help even thou the problems are under investigation. Ineed my vehicle to get to work to maintain paying my bills ford should have to do something for all of us and i would like to know what my next steps are i cant afford an attorney for this. They are aware of the problems but take no responsibility for them. When my car fails it gives great difficulty steering and braking as it shuts off i am in fear of my children's lives and others drivers while i continue to drive this vehicle and an accident should not be the forcing hand for ford motor corp to have to stand behind their product! |
