| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 ford freestar minivan that just turned 59,983 miles on it. Have had not issues with transmission and it had been driving just fine. Drove it all day saturday with no issues - then on sunday morning, when i went to take my daughter to work the car would not move when engaging it in reverse, drive etc. No warning at all... The transmission just went. Had it towed to my mechanic and he said it was the transmission and he advised me to look up to see if there were any recalls and sure enough there is. I had to pay to have it towed again to a family members house where it had been sitting as i don't have the $$$ to fix it. I am no happy with ford. I will never purchase another ford after this car. I just put close to $600 for 4 brand new tires in november - i hope these haven't been ruined! A family member recently found this site. I have been using a family members car to get to work, kids to school etc. Not happy at all with this situation! |
