problem #1

Aug 012006

Freestar 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,500 miles
The traction control system activates for no reason on perfectly good road conditions. The brakes come on hard, the gas pedal pushes back at you. It happened crossing an intersection one time I was almost broadsided. The dealer says it is an optical sensor on the steering column, light is somehow hitting it causing this to happen. We were told there is no fix for it right now just live with it.
