Ford Freestar 2005. The radio flashes phone and runs down the battery. It was replaced by Ford, still having the same problem. They don't know what is causing this. Next, transmission failed at 71,000. The torque converter came apart internally and sent metal through the transmission destroying it. When having the transmission replaced by Ford, they found that the drivers cv joint was bad. We changed the cv joint/ trans axle combo, it is now bad again.
At 66,000 miles my 2005 Ford Freestar van developed a high-pitched whine at highway speeds it started only when van had been driven for some distance but increased in frequency. Took to a shop and it was diagnosed as bearing failure in both front hubs simultaneously. Very expensive to repair ($775).
