Consumer Description

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 FORD FREESTAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND PLACED IN REVERSE, THE RPMS INCREASED. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE BUT SAID THEY WERE NO LONGER FIXING THAT ISSUE. IT CAN HAPPEN ON DRIVE OR REVERSE AND WHILE I AM TURNING INTO ALONE IT WILL TURN OFF SO I HAVE TO RUSH AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND START IT SO I DON'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 139,000. *TR*JB
