| 120000 mi US $7300 |
Replaced transmission with a new one |
| 128000 mi US $7300 |
CFT30 transmission failed and had to be replaced. This transmission is presently on 60 day backorder from Ford, however, my shop located two in a warehouse. $7300 is a ridiculous price, however, the only other option is a used one, $3300. |
| 125000 mi US $3000 |
CVT started going out at 99K miles. Drove until 123K. Replaced with salvage yard CVT. |
| 96700 mi US $1870 |
The car would lose power suddenly but everything would be fine when restarted. Determined to be a faulty electronic control module. Dealer replaced it and had to change all the fluids and filters because of the repair. |
| 204000 mi US $677 |
CV axle |
| 143000 mi US $80 |
Researched/found prob with trans & throttle body this model b 4 purchase. Purchased ext warranty when bought 30 mo ago. S/son used car 6 mo and trans out 957 miles out of warranty! Love the car/ will repair and keep just looking best way. |

| 77780 mi C $500 |
Changed transmission in full. The car keeps acting out - at times it just won't go any direction, like the clutch is not engaging or something. |
| 96720 mi | Transmission never fully fixed earlier, warning lights remained on. Transmission gave up again. They tried changing just the mechatronic, found needed entire transmission. Extended warranty would have covered half of $3,000 cost. Not worth it, junked car. |
| 153000 mi US $62 |
Transmission was replaced in kind under warranty from when original transmission was replaced. Owner was charged $62 for a broken thermostat housing that happened during the repair process. The powertrain company provided a transmission. Replace CVT Transmission in kind. The CVT was replaced by a powertrain company under warranty. The shop would have charged around 2k for a transmission but the warranty provided one - I have no way of knowing what the transmission cost was |

Replaced driver's side front axle seal. |
| 52000 mi | Torque converter went bad, because of a seal failure, Ford can not get parts - lack of parts manufactured, have a Premium warranty with 10 day rental. The rental expires before Ford can even get the not new, or rebuilt parts to the Dealer. |
| 55000 mi | Car jumps while accelerating, let off pedal, comes to a quick stop. has been returned once for loud popping noises, told us the bolts just needed tightening on subframe. Starting to hear it again, told them to fix when towed in. |

2006 Ford Freestyle 4dr Wagon
203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD
