Description of the problem	On 9/8/11 i went to get in my car to leave from work and my car would not move. It would crank but when i put it into gear it would not move. After two days of trying to get a tow truck small enough to get into the parking garage at work, my car was towed to a car shop. The car shop told me ther was something wrong with the transmission and they couldn't fix it. They had transmission shop come pick up the car by tow truck on 9/12/11 and i was told by the tranmission shop it was the torque converter. After looking online i noticed that this is happening to a lot of people that have this same model car. Ford is not doing anything about this. This car need to be recall as this is very dangerous. The transmission shop told me that it would be $1500. 00 to repair this issue. There are people all over the u. S. That are having the same issue with the 2005 ford freestar. I will never buy another ford again. Why isn't ford taking responsible for these defective parts (torque converters) they are putting in these vechles. Do someone have to get seriously hurt before they decide to do something about this. I noticed that there is a class action lawsuit pending for this torque converter issue. I advise you all if you have experienced the same problem to complain and join suit. This is ridiculous.
