| 2004 | STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS | WE JUST PURCHASED A 2004 FORD FREESTAR. I AM 67 AND WENT TO GET OUT OF THE BACK DOOR AND THE DRIVER ACCIDENTALLY PUSHED THE BUTTON TO CLOSE THE DOOR.IT CRUSHED MY LEG, AS THERE IS NO WAY TO STOP THE DOOR. THERE ARE NO SAFETY SWITCHES. EVERYONE IN THE CAR TRIED TO HELP AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT GO BACK. THIS WOULD HAVE KILLED A CHILD OR MY 89 YEAR OLD MOTHER. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. MY HUSBAND HAS SIZE 14 SHOES AND WHEN HE TRIED TO GET OUT THE SAME DOOR, HIS KNEE ALMOST HIT THE DOOR CLOSING BUTTON...AND HE WAS WATCHING OUT FOR THE PROBLEM. |
| 2005 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | ACCELERATING ONTO THE INTERSTATE AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH ACCELERATION TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WAS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP THE WEEK BEFORE FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND MAINTENANCE CHECK AT WHICH TIME THEY TOLD ME TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED OUT FINE AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR ANOTHER 10,000 MILES. TRANSMISSION ONLY HAS 66,500 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. HAVE DONE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE REGULARLY ON VEHICLE AT SAME DEALERSHIP SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT IN 2005. *TR |
