| Description of the problem | I was driving my car, the same as any other day. I came to a stop light and my car wouldn't go, as if i had it in neutral. There was some vibration and it was extremely hard to turn my car. I nearly hit a business that was on the corner of the turn. Then, it started working again, just to soon quit working again. I had my mechanic look at it to discover it was the torque. I am having the same issues as the other ford freestars that were recalled, but mine specific van was not for some reason but showing the exact same issues as the recalled ones. |
