When did the Ford Freestyle get a 6 speed auto?
Ford decided in 2008 to drop the CVT for a 6 speed auto, and swap out the 3.0 to a 3.5. The Freestyle got a name change also in 2008, to Taurus X. The same drivetrain & platform that was in the Taurus x is in the current Ford Flex.
Is there a problem with my 2005 freestyle?
Well it’s now Feb 13th and our 2005 Freestyle is running fine. For those of you having major problems and/or reoccurring problems. 1) keep paperwork w/diagnosis and repair costs. Mention using the FORD tsb’s related to your problem.
How much does it cost to change CVT fluid on a tranmission?
Tranmission fluid change is CVT fluid only, which is why you can’t cross contaminate fluids. The cost to drain and fill the transmission (CVT’s can’t be power flushed) should not be more than $275.00. The fill and flush also involves changing the exterior filter on the tranmission.
What kind of car is a 2006 frestyle?
I have a 2006 Frestyle with 89000. Its been a great car until a recent trip when I started losing power going up minor inclines on the freeway. It now is starting to shift hard in second when accelerating while moving (such as turning a corner).
