What’s the Importance of Your 2007 Freestar’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Freestar’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Ford Freestar transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Ford Freestar transmission trouble you might notice your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Freestar’s not even driveable.

Questions About 2007 Ford Freestar’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ford's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Freestar towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Freestar is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Freestar's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2007 Freestar’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Ford. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Ford Freestar leak transmission fluid? Yes. Ford Freestar transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Where can I get my  Ford Freestar transmission fixed? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Freestar transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Ford Freestar if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Freestar with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
