| Description of the problem | Takata recall - 2005 ford freestar van 135,000 miles..... Transmission failure 3 (march 2012) (july 2007) times in 11 years. Recall issued for same exact van built at other plant but does not cover my van. I don't understand this as ford says that they use the same parts at all locations. Was driving vehicle and lost all power (breaks, steering ect.). Have almost wrecked multiple times due to this issue. We have contacted ford and have only been told how sorry they are that we are having problems. Dealership service manager accused us of said vehicle in area with lost of water. |
