Bought van in june 2007 nothing but problems since. replaced battery within 2 months of purchase. replace o2 sensors 3 times and need done again. replaced transmission, radiator, egr valve, brakes 4 times, tie rod 2 times, calibers 2 times, rotors 3 times, fuel line, you name it, we have had to fix it. nothing but problems. we have spent close to 8k since feb 2008 on this vehicle and we can not get ford to help us at all. now the axles need replaced as well as sensors again. the dvd player quit working after 4 months, driver side heated seats quit working after 4 months. back passenger door sometimes won't open or unlock and sometimes it won't close when you try to close it. this vehicle has put my family in serious harm and we almost got into major accident do to most of the issues ie transmission stalled on interstate and had no warning at all. worst vehicle of all times. i can not trade in becasue i owe over 11k on this piece of crap. ford needs to refund me all of my money and suffering as well. i have thought about suing them for damages and selling this crap to us especially with 3 small children and having to travel to see family due to husband being a marine and always being deployed. almost missed seeing my grandpa for the last time before he did back in sept because of the transmission. this vehicle needs to be off of the roads forever. all of them. everyone that we know that has these vehicles have the same problems as us.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford freestar. the contact received a recall notice in 2004, which stated that two rotors and the front hubs of the vehicle needed to be replaced. the two rotors were replaced, but the front hubs were not. the contact began experiencing failures with the front hubs and contacted both the service dealer and ford. the failure was noticed while driving 3 mph. the dealer stated that they were not responsible because the hubs were not replaced at the time of the recall. the recall # was unavailable. the current mileage is 45,574 and failure mileage was 45,400.
Excessive front brake noise. sometimes accompanied by a grinding noise. i can not begin to describe how loud this is. it is not even near the level of normal brake squealing. dealership reports that nothing is wrong with the braking system. there has got to be some type of defect in the workmanship of this braking system and the manufacturer should be held accountable. this has been on going since purchase of vehicle. *tr
