Luckily this was a new bridge which had a place to pull over. I made to the top over the over pass because of speed before transmission quit. I had no warning just an all the sudden loss of the transmission. When i stopped on top of bridge i tried all gears including reverse and nothing . This is dangerous me and my wife could have been rear ended and killed because of this, between loss of drive train and crazy drivers while waiting for a tow truck to take us home. Ford need to fix cause of this problem and fix every ford freestar ever sold. |
