Why are Ford Freestyle CVT transmissions causing problems?
It has been 35 days since we dropped off our car and it looks like it will be finally over. Good luck to others who are having issues.

Are there any problems with the Ford Freestyle?
Ford is not as rich as they used to be so they are watching everything very closely. The other problem is there just aren’t many rebuilt transmissions available for the Freestyle. I personally don’t see nearly the troubles on the Freestyle as I have in past new vehicles that Ford has brought out.
