| Description of the problem | Anti slip kicks in & the ground is dry, this has happened 6 times now. The transmission had to be rebuild on a new 2006 freestar. Now ford has my van (since sept. 27,06)waiting for the page, so it can be fixed. The anti slip kicks in when it wants to - i almost got killed twice. They are stating it is a senor in the steering column that overheats & causes the anit slip to turn on. I have asked for a new van, but i think they will not. The last incident was 9-27-06. |
