Consumer Description

THIS IS ABOUT A 2005 FORD FREESTAR. WHEN ACCELERATING, SPECIALLY IN RAINY CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE MAKES A SCREECHY NOISE AND LOSES POWER. THE SCREECHY NOISE SOMETIMES STOPS AND THE VEHICLE IS ABLE TO CONTINUE MOVING. USUALLY WHEN IT'S WET/RAINY THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND VIBRATES. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND STRESSFUL BECAUSE IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PASS SLOWER VEHICLES ON THE LEFT LANES AND WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER WE ATTEMPT TO MOVE TO THE RIGHT LANE'S SHOULDER. LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED WHEN TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AT 6AM. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE I DROVE ON SIDE ROADS TO REACH MY DESTINATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWENTY TIMES SINCE 2013. *TR
