 Description of the problem2004 ford freestar: 18 months ago, transmission went out; van had less than 100 miles on it. New transmission put in but again my transmission is acting up. Power loss is very clear! Today, i called the ford company to address my concern because my van again lost power. Transporting four children on a daily basis in dangerous winter temperatures is a great reason for concern! A ford representative told me that my vehicle is part of the "power train torque" recall and called my local ford dealerships (1-2 hours away) to see if they could fix my van, they were unable because they don't have the parts in but would have the parts in (early-mid) spring. I asked the representative what i should do as i can not wait until spring, she advised me to not have it fixed by an independent mechanic because ford may not cover the costs. Also, wondered if ford would be responsible for the transmission cost based on this recall. "no"! This is suppose to be a "family" vehicle, why do i have to put my family in danger until spring (when the part arrives)? I feel that ford should be responsible for the cost of my transmission and they should fix my vehicle at the time that it's dangerous.... Like now (not spring)! *tt
