| Description of the problem | Was on a very busy highway. The freestars dash lights lite up and went back off. Ac cut off then everything started working again. About 30 seconds later the freestar died at 65. I was able to coast to a stop on the shoulder. Again on may 5 2012 the lights started flickering and the ac started to blow hard and it would slow back down then the dash lights abs,brake,battery lights would blink on and off then the freestar died again at 70 mph. Brakes didn't work i was going through a intersection and had to use the e brake. Freestar has done this several times over the last month i just hit the high spots. It has had test after test and i'm always told a different story! I just want my van fixed before someone gets hurt or killed. |
