2005
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2005 FORD FREESTAR MINIVAN SUDDENLY STOPPED PULLING. WAS ABOUT TO SAFELY GET TO THE SHOULDER. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AT AN ON RAMP OR OTHER SITUATION WHERE N UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ACCELERATION COULD SURPRISE ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. BASED ON INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF THIS FAILURE. *TR
