Ford Freestar Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Feb 20, 2009
Reported on Feb 20, 2009
| TRANSMISSION FAILED. AFTER READING A LOT OF POST THIS IS A ISSUE THAT FORD KNOWS ABOUT AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO FLUSH MY FLUID. I DID AND IT WAS STILL ACTING UP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. A COUPLE OF MOTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO THE SHOP AND THE GUY SAID HE WAS SURPRISED IT WAS EVEN DRIVING THE WAY IT WAS. FLUID WAS FULL OF METAL AND HAD WATER IN IT. THEY QUESTION IF THE FORD DEALER EVEN DID THE FLUSH BECAUSE IT WAS SO BAD. *TR | |
