NHTSA Complaint #10323418 — 2004 FORD FREESTAR

PURCHASED THIS 2004 FORD FREESTAR 6 MONTHS AGO WITH 98,000 MILES ON IT FROM OAK MOTORS ON W. 3TH STREET IN INDIANAPOLIS. EVERY TIME IT RAINS, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON ME. FINALLY, I SUGGESTED THAT THIS DEALERSHIP TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS THE SELLING DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW HOW. I ALSO SUGGESTED MY FEAR IN GOING THROUGH A CAR WASH. THE FORD DEALER TAKES THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH AND DETERMINES IT IS THE #1 AND #3 COIL PACK, PLUGS AND WIRES. WHILE TRYING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR THE REPAIR AFTER HAGGLING WITH THE SELLING DEALER ABOUT WHO SHOULD PAY, THE VEHICLE DEMONSTRATED WHAT SEEMED LIKE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE SELLING DEALERSHIP TODAY TOLD ME THAT A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST INFORMED THEM TODAY THAT IT IS NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT THEY THINK IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VAN'S COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT WILL NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARDS BUT IT IS NOT A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. ALSO, EVERY TIME IT RAINS, THE BREAKS SQUEAK BUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS DRY, BREAKS DEMONSTRATE NO PROBLEM. ALMOST PHANTOM PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP. ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE LESS THAN 30 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE DATE OF 9/31/2009.
