NHTSA Complaint #11098220 — 2004 FORD FREESTAR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DIED SCARING MY WIFE AND I TREMENDOUSLY. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID BRING IN THE VEHICLE SO THEY COULD LOOK IT OVER. 3 DAYS LATER THEY CALLED TO SAY COME IN FOR THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG.I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND HE CHANGED THE COMPUTER MOD THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WE ASSUMED IT WAS FIXED BECAUSE NO TROUBLE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. THEN WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN IT SPUTTERED AND DIED. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10-15 TIMES SINCE AND IF I WASN'T A PROFESSIONAL DRIVER A COUPLE OF TIMES WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I AGAIN WENT TO A FAMILY MECHANIC AND HE INFORMED ME ABOUT THE TORQUE CONVERTER BEING ON A RECALL FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL,THEN LOOKING IT UP BY MY VIN IT SHOWS ITS NOT INVOLVED BUT HOW CAN IT NOT BE IF THE DESCRIBED PROBLEM IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS? TELL ME WHERE I SHOULD GO TO GET THIS REPLACED. GOD HELP FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD ANYTHING HORRIFIC SHOULD HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY
