| Description of the problem | I was driving home and transmission would not engage. I coasted out of the highway lane. I had it towed. I found out about the torque converter problem last night this van was well taken care of and no issues until now. It only has 80,000 miles on it. I also own a 2005 freestar and the torque converter was replaced at the nearest ford dealership due to a recall. Ford was currently in the process of recalling the 2004 and 2005 freestars. Its the same part it seems to me that the 2006 freestar should be included in this recall, as we have found numerous similar complaints from 2006 owners. Second calendar quarter of 2012. The recall campaign number is 11s25 for the 2004 and 2005. Anyone know if a recall for the 2006 freestar is in process. Please help. |
