CarComplaints.com Notes: The Freestar was introduced in 2004, but it was essentially just a rebranded Windstar. While there was a redesign of the interior and exterior, the Freestar still inherited some of the design flaws of its predecessor.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When using the headliner-mounted dvd system screen, visibility through the rear view mirror is completely obscured. When reported to Ford as a major safety issue, I was told via my dealer that the Ford engineers said to use my side view mirrors. This seems highly inadequate when the van is sold based on its enhanced safety features. This was not an issue with the Windstar, and in my opinion, is a major design flaw that will cause accidents due to inadequate visibility.
