Used 2007 Ford Freestar Consumer Reviews
2006 Freestar Limited (4.2L)
I love this van and it's great family transportation,also very good as a hauler for construction projects. It rides smoothly and has plenty of power. I have 65k on the van. I personally think too many things have gone wrong. Fortunately all covered under warranty: Front brake rotors replaced 2x due to warping. Fuel pump replaced (worked fine but squealed), rear window vent motor replaced, catalytic converter replaced. Funky AdvanceTrak issues sometimes,weatherstrip on windshield was falling off. I know the AX4N trans is known to have major issues so I just hope ours lasts. I do all maintenance myself - full syn fluids, trans every 15k, P/S every year, coolant etc
Best van so far
I bought this 2006 Freestar in 2010 for Cdn $4500 and I’m still happy with it in 2021. It has had its problems but nothing I couldn’t put up with. Last month It wouldn’t pass local inspection due to rusty rear quarter panels – $2000? What to do… I looked at the prices of used and new vehicles and decided the van is so comfortable and responsive that for the money I figure I could get another four or five years out of it; well worth it. Love this van. Worst part? No-one has ever watched a movie on the built-in DVD player! I could really have used it when the girls were young. I do like the look of the 2012 Sienna so… if I wait four or five years then I should be in luck. lol

2006 Freestar vs 3 boys
We purchase our 2006Ford Freestar used with 45k. We have had one minor and one major repair since then. We had the repair a piece for one of the auto sliding door to work. And we had to replace the entire drivers central console due to the led communication panel failure. I could have lived without it but an odometer is required to pass state inspection. Other than that we love the car. We use it to trailer our 1500 lbs of gear to Cape Cod. The big high torque engine is amazing. Always power to spare. We love the entertainment system with DVD and wireless headsets. The car has plenty of room for even the longest trip. We even have used the trunk as a junior RV for long weekends.
Glad to own a Freestar with 4.2 litre
Owning a 98 windstar I had decided to remain with Ford due to the great reliability of the windstar. My Freestar with the 4.2 litre is very powerful! Transmission shifting is much more smooth and improved, the 4 disc brake system is superior to the disc and drum system, the traction control and stability control is excellent in the winter months. I have puchased this vehicle used with 56000 Kilometers and the only issue I presently have is a faulty backup sensor, everything else is peachy. The DVD entertainment is worth a million dollars on those long trips with the kids. The ride is smooth, feels solid and powerful when passing on the freeway. My next vehicle will be a Ford again, the Flex.
