Coming into town in busy traffic, our vehicle suddenly slipped out of gear and then would not switch back into gear above 20mph. We were 30 miles or so from home, so we went at low speed out of town and down highway continuing to see if it would kick into gear. It did not go over 20 to 25 mph until about 10 miles from home, we stopped for gas and then when we started up again it shifted as normal into gears as needed for highway travel. Took it to mechanic and ended up needing new transmission. A rebuilt one cost us almost $3000. Would love to know if this will be a recall and our money refunded from Ford?.

2006 Ford Freestar approximately 81,000 miles/ before the incident: I drove about 30 miles on the highway and was driving on a side road going about 25 mph up a steep hill. As I was driving the transmission dropped out of drive. I didn't have reverse only park. Had to push the van into a driveway. I had it towed to the local Ford dealer and was told that the "front pump has no pressure at all/internal failure either front pump and or forward clutch packs. Overhaul of unit not a practical repair. Fluid was full but very dirty and has some metal fragments. " the transmission was replaced with a Ford reman unit. Total cost was $3361. 46.

January 2010 10:30pm while driving with my family (husband, 2 kids-7/9 yrs old) at 40mph up a steep hill, the trasmission dropped out of drive and wouldn't shift. All there was was parkl. Since I was on a hill I was able to back the car into someones driveway and wait for a tow truck. Towed it to the local Ford dealer and was told I needed a new transmission, that the current one was unfixable. I spent $3500 on a new transmission.

Beginning at 55k miles, the transaxle has been slow shifting between reverse and drive with occasional shuttering, even jumping out of gear after stopping. Took it to a local transmission shop in March 2008 but "problem could not be duplicated" was their diagnosis. The vehicle would also "clunk" back into gear after stopping. After a local dealership completed the 60k mile transaxle service, the problem appeared to have been fixed. The slow shifting started again last week and the transaxle quit yesterday while in traffic (4k miles after the extended service plan expired). It won't move and loudly whines like a power steering pump low on fluid. This same dealership that serviced it says its too bad the warranty expired but they'll gladly diagnose the problem for $135. The team leader said it'll likely need to be replaced with a "remanufactured unit" (3 year, 100k mile warranty), but didn't know the cost, saying it needs to be diagnosed first. So, I have to pay first before they'll talk price?.

Transmission just dropped out of gear while driving down the road. This is the second time in 15 months. This will cost another $1500. Please help.
