What owners wrote
I purchased a freestar in march 2005, and returned to the local dealership 2 days later complaining about brake problems. The sales manager told me that the vehicle was repaired and functioning properly. I continued to drive the car hearing grinding noises when I applied the brake. In august 2005, I received a recall letter from ford motor informing me that the rotor and hubs needed to be replaced on this vehicle. My concern is that the recall was issued in sept.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 ford freestar. When the vehicle was started, the rpm's constantly accelerated to 2,000. While driving 40 MPH, the transmission shifts gears and the RPM fluctuates between 25,000-35,000. There is also significant loss of power. The dealer stated that the failure was a normal occurrence; however, they informed the contact that the wheel hubs needed to be replaced two weeks later.
