THIS TRANSMISSION failure nearly caused a king size of a collision at a intersection yesterday. I was on the inside lane stopped at a red light, went to go on the green, and bang no acceleration. People nearly piled into the back of me. I had hardly enough speed to drift over to the merge lane and nearly getting it there too, as people coming around the corner to merge on the Highway had to brake hard. No vehicle to take my daughter to school today, so she's missing classes, and I have to delay my back to work start on account of this.
My 07 ford Freestar has been a pain in the ass since I bought it used, in 08 I've had to change light bulbs after a few months a driver side window motor. and two transmissions in the last year. I"ve put thousands of dollars into this mini van with new tires and struts and even a trailer hitch. With no other recourse I will probably have to trade it in on another used car even though I can't afford a car payment right now. I want to get involved in a class action suit or get reimbursed, because Ford sold me a Lemon. Even though Ford knew they had a transmission problem for years
