What’s the Importance of Your 2005 Freestyle’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Freestyle’s performance. It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Ford Freestyle transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Ford Freestyle transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Freestyle isn’t working at all.

2005 Ford Freestyle Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ford Freestyle? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your Freestyle towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Freestyle is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Freestyle's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2005 Freestyle’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Ford, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Ford Freestyle transmission fluid leak? Yes. Ford Freestyle transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who does Ford Freestyle transmission repair? When your Freestyle transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Is it okay to drive a Freestyle with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
