Consumer Description

FOR THE FIRST 16 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP MY FORD 2004 FREESTAR SEL WAS IN THE SHOP 15 TIMES FOR ELECTRICAL FAILURES. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO GET THE VAN RETURNED UNDER THE LEMON LAW AND FORD REFUSED. I HAD ALSO COMPLAINED ABOUT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND TOLD ALL WAS NORMAL UNTIL I DEMANDED THEY CHECK THE FRONT BRAKE AND THEN WAS TOLD THEY WERE BAD. AT ABOUT 65,000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING WENT OUT. I WAS JUST LEAVING THE INTERSECTION AND FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT REAR ENDED. NOW JUST LAST MONTH, DECEMBER 2009 IT WAS DISCOVERED MY RIGHT REAR BRAKE CALIBER HAS BEEN DRAGGING FOR SOME TIME AS THE INSIDE BRAKE PAD WAS WORN DOWN TO THE METAL. LEFT SIDE WAS FINE. *TR
