I just replaced my spark plugs today because I was told that #3 cylinder was misfiring. I replaced all six and the van still runs rough, but the "service engine" light is off. I don't know what to do anymore...

From Wikepedia site:
Recently, NHTSA launched an investigation into the Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey due to numerous complaints with regard to the equipped 4F50N transmission.[1] Although the investigation is centered on the Torque Converter, these failures often require that the entire transaxle be rebuilt or replaced.
wanted to charge me $136.00 just to look at it. I took it to another shop, they wanted $90.00, I passed both of them up. I guess I had better join AAA.

I too am at a loss for what might be going on here. Good luck.

it happened to be the torque converter that went bad . it cost me 485 to buy a new one and 500 labor .
30000 miles with the new one and still runs fine except that i need to change a engine mount
It happened the week before the recall.
It happened with-in the month after... Twice I think, and now about a half hour ago......
We said screw you and traded it in for a Kia
Ford is aware the 2006 Freestar has the same problems as the 2004-5 models.
Sending my demand letter to Ford this week.
If you send yours, and, we can gether 2006 owners to do the same *hint-hint to 2006 owners* we can get our monies back.
Let me know what you are going to do.

Your complaint information will be entered into the NHTSA vehicle owner complaint database. NHTSA technical staff review this information to identify potential safety problems. While you may or may not be contacted by a NHTSA investigator to clarify the information submitted, all reports are reviewed and analyzed for potential defects trends. Also, the NHTSA complaint database provides valuable information to other consumers and to manufacturers.
I will join a class action lawsuit. I have even thought about suing Ford in small claims court. I doubt they would fight it, but I guess you never know...
