Description of the problem	2005 ford freestar just dies. First incident happened february 28, 2008. Was stopped at a stop sign and made it about halfway through intersection when everything shut off. Coasted to the other side and pulled to the right. Restarted the van and made it another 50 feet before it died again. Tried a third time and it would not go into any gear. Luckily was in a residential neighborhood. Called tow truck and local ford dealership (mckie ford, rapid city, sd). Service technician said the transmission needed to be replaced, parts would be in sometime on monday (3/3/2008). They completed the repair on tuesday afternoon. Today (3/10/2008), the same exact issue occurred. Called tow and local ford dealer. Waiting to hear what ford has to say this time. Doing some research on the web, there are hundreds of people with freestars that have had to same issue. Each has a similar story of having to replace the transmission (usually at their cost). Many of whom are looking at having a class action lawsuit created against ford for a known defect that has gone unresolved (to the point where they outright lie about knowing the parts are faulty). I know i'm not the first to complain here, and i know i will not be the last.
