It's really bad when you have a problem that is very common in a car and the Company doesn't take responsibility for their product. I have seen and looked online and I see a lot of owners with the same problem as mine!
My Trac control is on and will not go off. It makes my car run rough. I'm not able to drive on roads that have hills unless I want blow my car up. The rpms runs really high if I take a hill. AWD light been on for a while now but Trac light was recently. It's a pain!! My mechanic will not even look at my car!!
In early October of 2014, while driving my 2005 Ford Freestyle, the traction light along with a message of AWD Malfunction was displayed. I took my car to the Ford Dealer and was told the rear differential needs to be replaced, cost over $600. I did just have the L suspension replaced too so I wasn't looking forward to another steep bill.
I decided to check with my local mechanic for a second opinion. He indicated the fluid for the rear differential was low and that could cause the light to come on. He replaced the fluid and it was off for a few days and then the warning lights returned. I took it back and he did additional research and discover Ford had noted a similar issue and claims it is something to do with the rear differential sensor. I returned to the garage and had the sensor replaced. I picked it up yesterday got half way home and the warning lights are back on.
This is my only vehicle. I have 3 small children and I have been messing with this issue for over 3 months. I have a family weekend planned and the drive is over 3 hours, is my vehicle safe??? If Ford knows of an issue why do they not do something?
