NHTSA Complaint #10421662 — 2005 FORD FREESTAR

2005 FORD FREESTAR SE HAS APPROX. 70,000 MILES BOUGHT IT FOR A RETAIL OF 9,400 DOLLARS AND 4 MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT (IN MARCH OF 2011). THANK GOD IT MY WIFE AND KID DIDN'T GET INTO A CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH IT. WE JUST RECENTLY TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT AGAIN BECAUSE IT WON'T RUN IN GEAR AND THEY SAID ITS THE TORQUE CONVERTOR. SO WE TOOK IT BACK TO WHERE WE GOT IT REPAIRED AND THEY SAY THERES WATER IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS THE WORST 9,400 DOLLARS IVE EVER SPENT! WE HAVENT EVEN HAD THIS CAR FOR 9 MONTHS AND IT BEEN IN THE SHOP 50% OF THE TIME BESIDES THE OUT OF POCKET MONEY COST. HOW CAN FORD SELL SUCH A PIECE OF CRAP? *TT
