2004 Ford Freestar 4dr Minivan, ext.

201-horsepower 4.2L V6 4-speed automatic FWD

12000 mi One of the sliding door latches was replaced. The door would not close reliably. 
68000 mi "Trac off" light would come on and stay on. I could reset it but later it would come on again for no apparent reason. Service manager explained to me how to clean and adjust the wheel speed sensors. Will post it on the Forum if it works. 
69000 mi "Trac Off" light still coming on. Found tread separation on right front tire so replaced all four tires. Light went off and stayed off for three days before coming on again. Ended up only needing another reset--tire was the problem.
