This is about a 2005 Ford Freestar. When accelerating, specially in rainy conditions, the vehicle's engine makes a screechy noise and loses power. The screechy noise sometimes stops and the vehicle is able to continue moving. Usually when it's wet/rainy the engine loses power and vibrates. It's very dangerous and stressful because it usually happens when attempting to pass slower vehicles on the left lanes and when the vehicle loses power we attempt to move to the right lane's shoulder. Lucky that this happened when traffic was light at 6am. After restarting the engine I drove on side roads to reach my destination. This has happened at least twenty times since 2013.

While driving down the road, the van will suddenly die. All alarms, engine light, abs, traction control. Will go off. Sudenly there is no power. Van will start right back up and drive again. This has been going on for over a year. I have had it at 7 different mechanics, including the Ford dealership where I purchased the vehicle. It has happened at all different speeds, 20-65, also happens if stalled at a stop light or drive-thru. Additionally, I can be driving at 25-35mph and the rpm's will shoot up to 7000 or fall all the way down like you are idleing. Vehicle makes noises like it is going to blow up and then will be fine.

Basically, when it's wet outside the car dies after starting. There will be a loud screeching sound coming from under the hood and then it will just stutter and stall out. It will start right back up but then it will die again. This will even happen while driving down the road. It seems to only happen when it's wet outside so far but we have no idea what it causing it and the dealer is no help at all.

My family and I were stopped at a stop sign in our 2004 Ford Freestar. We turned left and almost at the same instant the car's engine started a revving noise and (lucky for us) out of the intersection the car wouldn't go. We were almost smashed by a truck turning the same corner. We had the car towed to our Ford dealership. I was doing research on Ford Freestars and found they had torque converter problems. I called the dealership back and they couldn't give me any updates. At this time I told them of my research and told them it's probable the torque convert. They called back the next day and confirmed it's the torque converter. Called Ford customer service and they told us it's not on recall because 'there hasn't been enough accidents or deaths. " there were almost 4 a week ago in IL, lucky for my family and I the truck turning stopped in time.
