2005 Ford Freestar Other or unknown Problems

“On november I was going shopping with my two kids,out of the sudden my van stopped in the intersection of washington and miles, I didn't know what was going on, I pushed it to the side off the road. It didn't turn on so I called the tow truck. We're being trying to fixed it but now it just doesn't shift. It is unknown as to what caused the problem.”

“I am not sure where the problem lies but we suspect it may be electrical. We have had the fuel pump, fuel filter replaced, and the PCM cleaned and dried out but the van is still making a squealing noise and dies without notice, most often in the middle of a turn or at a stop light or sign. The squealing starts when you turn the van on, then will stop and start again randomly. Usually soon after it will just die. So far it has always restarted but it seems to be getting worse. …”

“I was driving on an inclined off ramp towards my destination. My car once it got to the top of the incline began to slow down and the rpms were excelerating and all of a sudden my car came to a stop I was then spooked so I turned my car off and then turned it back on and it was making a loud revving sound and wouldnt go into any gears.. So now my car is just stuck and I topped off all of my fluids.. I really dont know what to do.. Im a mother of two and also a fulltime employee.. And I really cant be with out a vehicle!! Help!!”

“Takata recall - 2005 Ford Freestar van 135,000 miles..... Transmission failure 3 (march 2012) (july 2007) times in 11 years. Recall issued for same exact van built at other plant but does not cover my van. I don't understand this as Ford says that they use the same parts at all locations. Was driving vehicle and lost all power (breaks, steering ect.). Have almost wrecked multiple times due to this issue. We have contacted Ford and have only been told how sorry they are that we are having problems. Dealership service manager accused us of said vehicle in area with lost of water.”

“Our 2005 Freestar minivan would stall and shut down the engine with no warning. We purchased this van in 2005 from our local Ford dealership. The first time it happened, my wife was driving the vehicle and had pulled into an intersection when it stalled, she was fortunate that she was not involved in an accident. The van would not stay running when you put into gear and had no reverse gear. We took it to a local garage and found out the PCM had gotten wet and that there was a TSB issued for this vehicle as it was a common occurrence in this model. …”
