2006 FORD FREESTAR Complaints

TRANSMISSION NOT WORKING, SLIPPING, LIKE IN NEUTRAL WHILE IN PARK OR REVERSE. WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VAN ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. GOT IT STOPPED. TRIED TO GET IT IN GEAR (DRIVE OR REVERSE), BUT WOULD NOT WORK. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON STREET AT TIME OF FAILURE.

2006 FORD FREE STAR TORQUE CONVERTER. VEHICLE LOST POWER IN TRAFFIC. VERY UNSAFE. RECALL IS FOR 2004-2005. 2006 HAS SAME ISSUE

WITHOUT WARNING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE TRANSMISSION QUIT. WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD IN ANY GEAR. I HAD ENOUGH MOTION LEFT TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD IT TOWED TO A TRANS REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MOST LIKELY THE TORQUE CONVERTER. HE SAID THIS THESE VEHICLES HAVE HAD NUMEROUS TC FAILURES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION HAD IT HAPPENED IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC BUT THANK GOD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IS WAS JUST A CITY STREET. I THINK FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS.

I LEFT BURGER KING, DROVE A FEW BLOCKS TO MENARDS, I WAS JUST PARKING WHEN THE LITTLE WRENCH STARTS BLINKING, I DRIVE TO AUTOZONE AS SLOW AS 30/MPH, THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WITH THEIR LITTLE COMPUTER WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, THE LIGHT STARTS BLINKING AFTER ABOUT HALF A MILE DRIVING.

WAS HEADING DOWN A HIGHWAY HEADING HOME WHEN THE VAN REVVED UP AND STOPPED SHIFTING ALL TOGETHER. ONLY T HING THAT WAS THERE WAS PARK. GOT IT HOME AND WAS CHECKING TO SEE IF IT WAS A TOURQUE CONVERTER OR THE PUMP. TOOK A TRANNY LINE OFF AND NO FLUID CAME OUT. PUMP WENT OUT WITHOUT WARNING.
