1 Loud Engine Noise problem of the 2004 Ford Freestar

Failure Date: 06/10/2016

Had the recall for the torque converter done and now my vehicle shakes, sputters. Won't accelerate, the rpms jump up high, very loud noises coming from underneath vehicle. Sometimes it will stall out. Can't go past 25-30 mph if it even gets up to that! my vehicle ran perfect before taking it into the Ford dealership and ever since I got it back we have had this problem. Took it back to Ford and they tried to say it was throttle cable so had that fixed and it still is doing the same things as it did after the torque converter was replaced. Can't drive the vehicle because when I go to accelerate it doesn't go or get up to the correct mph. The whole vehicle shakes really bad and the noises it makes are very loud and sound like something is going to blow up. I think the torque converter they replaced it with is bad and they need to fix this problem and man up and quit trying to blame it on other things. They messed up and need to fix it.

3 Loud Engine Noise problem of the 2004 Ford Freestar

Failure Date: 07/24/2013

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.
