| 2006 | POWER TRAIN | AFTER HEAVY RAIN THE VAN BEGAN TO MISFIRE AND SHAKE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. 2 DAYS LATER IT WENT OUT AFTER DRYING OFF. *TR |
| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | WHILE TRAVELING ON I-94, GOING 70 MPH, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND. THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY GONE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE SIDE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY WITHOUT THE USE OF A TRANSMISSION. MY HUSBAND AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN WERE IN THE VAN WITH ME AT THE TIME. IT WAS VERY UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS. WE HAD THE VAN TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT IT NEEDED A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. THEY QUOTED $1400 FOR THE REPAIR BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET THEM DOWN TO $1100. THE VAN HAS ONLY 66000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. FORD NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE. |
