HAVE OWNED THIS 2006 FREESTAR SINCE NEW. SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES. STEREO SYSTEM - INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE PRESETS RESETTING AND THE CLOCK SETTING BACK TO 12:00.

REAR DRIVER SIDE TURN SIGNAL LAMP - HAS BURNED OUT AND BEEN REPLACED 7 TIMES. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE PROBE - IS NOT READING PROPERLY. STARTER - HAVE INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESOLUTION FROM SEVERAL DEALERS. THE PCM WAS NOT FOUND TO BE WET OR DAMAGED. ARE CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS MAJOR WIRING ISSUES AND IS A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. ALSO, THE REAR AC BLOWER SQUEALS INTERMITTENTLY AND HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AS WELL. STILL DOING IT. THERE IS A MUFFLED THUMP SOUND COMING FROM THE AIR CLEANER BOX AREA. THE LAST DEALER WHO LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL. WE DON'T AGREE. SEVERAL, UNRESOLVED, REPETITIVE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE.
