Description of the problem	Was driving my 2005 ford freestar sel through our town had made two or three stops no problem started to go through a light and notice it was not taking the gas had to change lanes to get off side of road and pull over almost got hit by side and back from traffic through the light had two of my three children with me no warning at all had not acted up or no lights came on. I notice the vehicle was still running when i put it in park went to put back in gear but notice i was not hearing it go in any gear and when press gas it would just rev up. My son un hooked the battery and waited and put it back on to see if it was computer and would reset itself still nothing. Phoned my husband at work and he had to leave work and check it out we was right beside the ford dealer and they said it sounded as if it was the transmission. We had it towed to our fathers home and called a ford mechanic he said it was in transmission we found a used one for $1100. 00 and to rebuilt is between $1600. 00 and $2000. 00 i have read online over and over again sounds just like my story. It is just a miracle that someone hasn't got killed over this without any warning. My husband has just got back hours at work it has been rough the last two years and then this. We are going to have it rebuilt due to not wanting to pay out $1100. 00 and not knowing how long it will be before it goes out. The company that is rebuilding ours says there are new parts so it may last longer. They said we were lucky we got the miles out of ours that we did,but it is driven by me in a little town most of my miles are from taking my little girl to school the last five years. Ford needs to be responsible for this!
