 Bought the 04 freestar used in Oct 09 with 54k miles.  Within 3 weeks of having it, the traction control light went on -- it goes on and off at will, mostly it is on all the time.  This last summer, the AC went out.  Had to get a new AC compressor for $600 dollars ... it was changed and the AC only worked in the front of the van, just blew hot air in the back.  Mechanic tried to find the problem and changed the orifice tube, which was full of debris ... still no ac in the back.  He said that there is likely debris throughout the entire system and would need an entire overhaul to repair the ac in the back.  This weekend the transmission failed and it will cost $2500 to repair.  DO NOT BUY ONE
