Description of the problem	Hello - i am wondering if the 2006 & 2007 ford freestar vehicles have been recognized for the serious safety hazard they present, and for recall as their 2004 & 2005 predecessors have? "2004-'05 ford freestar, mercury monterey recalled for loss of power without warning ford is recalling 205,896 2004-'05 ford freestars and mercury montereys because the torque converter output shaft may fail, resulting in sudden loss of power with no warning, according to the national highway traffic safety administration. Ford will replace the torque converter on the affected vehicles. The recall is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2012. Ford is recalling 205,896 2004-'05 ford freestars and mercury montereys "the torque converter output shaft may fail," said nhtsa in its recalls summary of the problem. "this condition results in a sudden loss of motive power with no warning, increasing the risk of a crash." ford told the federal safety agency that the supplier of the torque converter manufactured converters containing a pump shaft spline that did not consistently meet the specified heat treat requirements. As a result, some of the torque converters may experience worn pump shaft splines. Nhtsa opened a probe into the issue in 2009. Ford dealers will replace the torque converter. If you own a 2004-'05 ford freestar or mercury monterey, be aware that a recall is in the works." my 2006 ford freestar experienced this very same loss of power due to a torque converter failure on the highway, placing myself and my entire family in grave danger as i was forced to extricate the vehicle from the highway in heavy traffic with a complete & sudden loss of motive power. The 2006 & 2007 ford freestar & mercury monterey vehicles clearly suffer form this same torque converter spline failure and should be recalled by ford.
