Description of the problem	Driving with my two young daughters in the vehicle. Had just driven about 50 miles at 60 mph. Luckily had just gotten off the highway when the vehicle felt like i had shifted into neutral. The engine sounded like it was revving but i had absolutely no power. It's now going to cost me $2500 for a new transmission. I wouldn't even give it a second thought if i hadn't just read that the 2004-5 freestars have been recalled because of transmission problems. I'm wondering why the 2006 wasn't included since i'm guessing the transmissions are identical. We were incredibally lucky since i had just gotten off the highway, but 5 minutes earlier would have been a different story. *js
