While this vehicle (a school bus, with students aboard), was being operated on the a city street, the school bus stopped at a red traffic light and when the light turned green the school would not then move forward or back regardless of the gear selected. The transmission would not engage into any gear. The school bus was towed to Ford and it was found that the coast clutch drum, return spring and coast clutch hub assembly splines damaged. After replacement vehicles transmission shifts and engages all gears. This break down resulted in having to transfer special need students from one bus to another in the middle of a busy intersection.

I have a 2005 Ford freestar. I was approx. 200 miles from home driving on hwy 71 n in ar,. Stopped at a traffic light, and my transmission would not engage no warning lights had came on, no loss of power, noises of any kind. I bought this for a family vehicle. I have since talked with several people that have heard of this happening with the Ford freestars.
