2004 FORD FREESTAR Electronic Stability Control Esc Problems

EVERYTIME I STOP AT EITHER A STOPLIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT STALLS OUT. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN GOES BACK OFF. I AM ABLE TO RESTART IT BACK UP AND CONTINUE IT ON. I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL COMPUTER FIXED AND HAD A FULL TUNE UP DONE AND IT STILL STALLS OUT.

IT WAS RAINY DAY AND MY WIFE WAS PICKING MY DAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL. IT HAPPENED IN THE SCHOOL ZONE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. KIDS CROSS ROAD AS IT WAS END OF SCHOOL DAY. SAFETY OF PASSENGERS AND OTHER PEOPLE WAS IN DANGER. I HAVE REPLACED IN FEB 2016 CONTROL UNIT AND HCU SPENDING $2400 +. AT THAT TIME IT HAD ENGINE LIGHT ON. IT HAS AGAIN CAME BACK ON 10/24/2017. JUST TO NOTE, IN 2010, SPEND $1600 + ON THE CAR BECAUSE OF ISSUES IN THE VEHICLE. HAD ABS LIGHT ON, NORMAL DRIVING. THE CAR HAS ONLY AROUND 45000 MILES. RAIN WATER IS CAUSING ISSUES. IF GOOGLE SEARCH DONE "FORD FREESTAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AFTER RAIN", IT HITS LOTS OF RESULTS. FORD KNOW THE ISSUES. FORD EVEN HAD FOLLOWING SERVICE BULLETIN. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB 06-14-10.) THESE MINIVANS ARE SAFETY HAZARDS. WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO GET SOMETHING DONE,...

WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK HE CAME UPON A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AGAIN HE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE VAN WOULD NOT MOVE. HE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND THE VAN STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED WITHOUT ANY WARNING, NO LIGHTS FLASHING OR ANY KIND OF UNUSUAL SOUNDS. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM WE WERE TOLD THAT THE VAN HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT NEEDED TO BE HANDLED AT THE FORD DEALER. NOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD IS THAT THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER MODULE WAS THE PROBLEM AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS REPAIR COST US $1200 DOLLARS AFTER HAVING THE VAN FOR JUST UNDER FIVE MONTHS. WE ARE PAYING CLOSE TO $13,000 FOR THIS VAN AND WERE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT SAFELY FOR AT LEAST...

IN 2010 FOR NO REASON THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS COMING ON. AFTER 2 VISITS TO THE DEALER THEY REPLACED THE ABS MODULE AND SWITCH ON THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE RESOLVED BUT ONCE IN A WHILE THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY AND THE ABS ACTIVATES FOR NO APPARENT REASON (DRY ROAD AND NORMAL BRAKING) WHICH I CONSIDER A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

CHECK TIRES & TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COMES ON DAILY. *TR

DRIVING AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN: NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES, NOTHING WORKED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OTHER INDICATION OF FAILURE. WAS ABLE TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP VEHICLE USING EMERGENCY BRAKES. *TT

EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER TO THE ENGINE ON 2004 FREESTAR WHILE DRIVING IN BAD WEATHER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. TOWED TO DEALER. TOLD TRANSMISSION AND AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. COST $4000. FREESTAR HAS 48,589 MILES. EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED IN AUGUST. HAD CAR IN TO DEALER 4 TIMES DURING THE SUMMER FOR TRACTION CONTROL ISSUES AND FAILURE OF BACKUP SENSORS. 2006 HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER DUE TO ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 2 MILES. TRADE IN VALUE $5700(MINUS $4000 IN TRANSMISSION AND AIRBAG MODULE REPLACEMENT) *TR

WE OWN A 2004 FREESTAR THAT HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN FEB 2008 WITH LESS THAN 43,000 MILES ON IT. IN JULY 2008 WE SPEND $450 ON REPAIRING PART OF THE BREAKING SYSTEM, AND THIS WEEK THE VAN WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND DID NOT HAVE ANY PULL TO IT WHEN IT FINALLY DID AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ONCE I GOT OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE, I GOT AN ESTIMATE OF A BLOCK AND ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, ONLY TO HAVE THE VAN STALL ON ME, ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD PAID FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED, WE PAID FOR THE CALIPER, DRUM, ROTOR, AND BREAK PAD TO BE REPLACED ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE BRAKE. WHEN HAVING THE VAN CHECKED OUT THIS WEEK, WE WERE TOLD YESTERDAY THAT THEY DID DIAGNOSTICS ON IT, AND THE ONLY THING THAT CAME BACK WAS A CAM SENSOR...
