NHTSA Complaint #10855606 — 2006 FORD FREESTAR

VAN WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AS IT SHOULD WHEN WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION OF ANY PROBLEM AT ALL DRIVING POWER WAS LOST WHILE ON A PUBLIC ROADWAY. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL IN ANY GEAR AND WAS STUCK ON THE ROADWAY AS FAR OVER AS WAS POSSIBLE, BUT COULD NOT GET COMPLETELY OFF OF THE ROADWAY ONCE MOMENTUM WAS LOST. HAD I KNOWN THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE I MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET FARTHER OFF OF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH. THIS IS THE VAN WITH THE 3.9 LITER ENGINE. I HOPE NO ONE HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN WHEN CROSSING A HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO MERGE ON TO THE INTERSTATE.
