Description of the problem	I have a 2006 freestar sel in 2008. I purchased it used at 57000 km mileage (canada). About a year after, a recurring issue was that the traction control comes on without warning even at high speeds. The net effect is that it quickly limits the speed to about 40 kph. Once, driving at 100 kph, it came on and the transmission failed. I got the txn fixed but it still occurs occasionally/randomly. I got in touch with ford canada and they deny there is such a problem. However, a search of the internet found several owners of freestar with the same problem. I took it to the dealer but they cannot find a problem. One reference quoted a ford service bulletin that refers to the problem as a nuisance but not a safety concern. I and others do not agree. See link http://www. Arfc. Org/complaints/2006/ford/freestar/traction_control_system/problem. Aspx i am also sending this to the canadian ministry of transportation. I think this is a serious issue which could have ended up in a serious crash.
