Turns out there was a recall on the 2004 Ford Freestar in 2012 regarding the torque converter. Here it is two years later and it goes out again. This should not happen. There needs to be another recall on the torque converter and it needs to be fixed properly this time before there is a death from the incident. I had two kids under the age of 3 with me at the time and sitting in the pouring rain, in chilly weather, waiting for a ride home was not fun. Fix it Ford!!!.

First time;while driving around a curve going approximately 40 miles per hour, the engine shut off, and lost power, and steering. Engine light came on 2nd time; engine bucked at about 40 miles to 50 miles per hour, then the engine shut off, and lost power and steering. Engine light came on 3rd time; same as the second time, engine light came on. Went to a mechanic who stated that ran the engine on computer, and the code:po741 came up, tcc clutch performance. Was told to go to Ford for this because of current recall. Went online to Ford, and our VIN came up for torque converter replacement. Awaiting appointment on Tuesday, June 3rd. At Ford dealer.

Was driving about 35 miles and hour when I turned and went up a slight incline. . . Engine sputtered a bit then I turned into parking lot, heard a loud noise like engine reving up and then it just died. Lost all control of ehicle and luckily coasted to a spot where no cars were. I let let it sit for a moment, started back up and it was reving up again and rpm's were going up drastically. Tried to put in reverse and it would not go, shifted to park again and it reved back up. Turned off let sit again. . . Then started, was able to reverse but with loud noise and reving of rpm's. Drive a small amount and it died again and would not start back. Had pcm replaced about one year ago. Not sure of problem. Still waiting to get it towed.

Bought this van at 37106 miles. Van serviced for steering rack, struts, swaybar links and springs at approx 68000 miles. The steering rack needed to be replaced twice. Spent over $2000. Miles now are 70015 and steering problems have resurfaced. I had a Dodge caravan that gave me over 86000 miles with minimal repairs. I will never purchase a Ford product again.

While driving my son to school, vehicle stalled at 45 mph and engine died. Got vehicle started again, died again, managed to get vehicle back home. This issue has been happening intermittently ever since with no warning engine will die while driving vehicle. I have been advised by a mechanic that this is due to the pcm getting wet repeatedly. After researching issue on-line, this appears to be a design issue that Ford should address immediately before it results in a fatality.

This is the fourth time power train control module has gone out during rain event. This time was on a highway traveling at 45mph with passengers. The result was intermittent engine shutdown, loss of steering, and forward motion. This module has been replaced 3 other times. Two times in 2011, and two months ago in 2013.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Freestar. The contact stated that the steering wheel became increasingly difficult as the vehicle abnormally pulled to the right. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that there was probably something wrong with the front end suspension. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 174,000.

Driving and the car shut down: no power steering, no power brakes, nothing worked. There were no warning lights or other indication of failure. Was able to steer to the side of the road and stop vehicle using emergency brakes.

The contact owns a 2004 Ford Freestar. There is a restriction that prevents the steering wheel from turning left or right properly. On August 31, 2007, the vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that nothing was wrong with the steering wheel; however, the wheel has become even harder to turn. The contact has not taken the vehicle back to the dealer. The current mileage was 102,000 and failure mileage was 94,000.

Very high pitched squealing noise coming from front wheels. Noise begins approximately 15 minutes after beginning driving. Noise is intermittent but very irritating to passers by and other drivers. Noise "lightens" or lessens when brakes are applied and when slightly turning the steering wheel. I believe it to be wheel bearings/hub bearings. Very similar description to complaints I have read and I believe it is related to the recall #04s24. My vehicle was produced at the oakville assembly plant, but was produced before the dates listed in the current form of the recall. My vehicle only has 66,000 miles on it and is very well maintained. I request that this recall be expanded immediately and that remedy is offered swiftly.
