Description of the problem	First and foremost i am a mother of three and use my van daily taking my daughter to school. This is my second time having to report transmission failure the first being in june/2010 we was driving and without any warning the van's transmission went out we had it fixed in july 19 2010. Then again 2/26/2011 i was driving about thirty miles from my home to visit my brother in the hospital i had got word he was not doing well from surgery and i did not make it i heard a noise and felt a surge so i pulled off into a parking lot and called my father that was at the hospital to come and pick my daughter and me up. He checked everything under the hood and did not see a problem. My husband showed up a few hours later in which he heard a noise in the transmission when he went to put in gear it started rolling there was nothing it had done went out. So we called the wrecker man to come get it we had done spent $45. 00,$50. 00 and now this cost $90. 00 on tow bills. I will not know until later this week what went out. I got on the internet last night and day after day someone is reporting this same problem here we are. In less than a year ours has went out twice what will it take before ford does something to fix this losing a family member or a whole family. We still owe on our van and with the economy was hoping to pay it off and enjoy life without payments for a while but who knows. I do not feel safe even getting in this vehicle i just feel it will take a death before ford wises up and does something this is so sad i reported my problem in june of last year hoping to get something done and now here we are again 8 months later with reports coming in everyday and nothing is being done. I am contacting other media to try and get word of this unlike toyota trying to say this or that there is too much information about these ford freestar transmissions reports page after page when you put 2005 ford freestar in the search. So why hasn't something being done before it is too late?
