| Description of the problem | I have a 05 ford freestar in the garage with transmission problems described by many on the internet. My wife was going to work and the van loss all power from the transmission. She was in heavy traffic and it just quit. After coasting to a stop she called me. We had to call a wrecker and had it towed to the garage close to home. After calling ford, (their price over three thousand) i had it towed to aamco for an estimate, 2,500. 00. I've been told this could happen again, this is dangerous and we are beside ourselves that this could happen. My wife is 70 years old and the van only has 66,000 miles. P. S i've been told this could be an electronics problem that ford knows about. [xxx]. If there's a class action lawsuit outthere, i'm in!!!!!!!
