Description of the problem	I have a 2005 ford freestar. We bought it in 2008 and enjoyed driving it all over texas but the rear brakes have always has made a moaning sound no matter what is replaced and the front brakes rattle. Dec 2010 replaced the water pump, alternator, ilder pulley and belt tensioner before i found the solution on youtube that it was the camshaft sychronizer that was making a shrieking noise. Then without warning three weeks later the transmission completely failed at a traffic signal 83230 miles, left my wife stranded in rush hour traffic luckily it wasn't at night or my kids in the van. No cause could be determined by mechanic other than tranny pan was full of metal and had to be completely rebuilt for $2000. I have owned an f150, aerostar, and explorer all went over 180,000 miles and still working when i sold them. The freestar has been a let down. Next minivan will be nissan or toyota. Hopefully ford will recall the tranny on these van since most of the comments i have read experience tranny failure around 80k miles hopefully no one get hurt because of it.
