| Description of the problem | My freestar was recalled for trans problem, it broke down while i was driving about 3 yrs ago, ford in watkins glen ny fixed it ,it ran sluggish like it did before it broke down, i just thought "oh well i guess that's how they ran", now three yrs. Later i'm having the same problem its trans is not working again, could they have possibly repaired it with another faulty trans (torque converter) it broke down just like it did before it was repaired. Iv'e spoken to other freestar owners that have told me there freestar ran much better after there trans was fixed, ... Both times my vehicle was in motion when the trans stopped moving, on a city street. I do believe my problem is do to another faulty torque converter. I live in n. J. Now, so what can i do? Thank you! |
