#1298 of 1319 Re: Worn upper motor mount, transaxle roll resistor, torque strut [carstenb] by coldcranker Jul 22, 2009 (7:35 pm)
Replying to: carstenb (Jul 17, 2009 4:16 pm) From carstenb's excellent pictures, both above and on his links to the myfordfreestyle web pages, it looks like the problem is the rubber formulation. I've worked on a few antique cars ('41 Chevies, etc.) and it looks like the small cracks in the high resolution photos, and crumbling bits on top of that, indicate this thing aged very quickly. Once aged, turning brittle, it then gave way and thats why we see the big cracks. This part opposes engine torque, so every time the car accelerates, the rubber in there gets stressed. Of course, Ford says its past warranty so there is no hope there.

#1302 of 1319 Change oil message-cannot clear by tommycee Sep 14, 2009 (1:44 pm)
I cannot clear the "change oil 0%" message permanently. I can reset using the controls on the wheel, however, the message reappears when re-start the engine. Can anyone provide guidance?

Replying to: ping8 (Sep 13, 2009 8:57 am) Your engine computer is storing down codes that probably are telling exactly what is wrong. An Autozone parts store can tell you what the engine computer is saying (for free, or at least they used to do that). Or, any mechanic has a "scan tool" to read the codes off the engine computer. Ask them to plug the OBD2 Scan Tool in to your connector located under the steering wheel, which communicates with your engine computer and gets it to tell the story. Then, you can google the code numbers and/or just let a mechanic take care of it.
#1304 of 1319 Tail Light Replacement Freestyle by jolo3 Oct 10, 2009 (1:28 pm)
I need to replace a brake light and I can't remove the lamp housing from the back of the car. I have removed the two screws from the inside of the door but the housing still appears to be attached. I'm not sure what it's stuck on but I'm afraid of applying full force and breaking something. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas? Thanks!

Replying to: jolo3 (Oct 10, 2009 1:28 pm) I believe the housing pivots to the outside instead of coming completely off. Grab the inside vertical edge and see it will swing out on the outside vertical edge.

I have a 2005 Freestyle. After removing the two screws it "pops' out. Go by Autozone, O'Reilly, Autosource. They can show you for free. I have replaced my rear bulbs more than once.

Replying to: jrmust (Jun 23, 2008 11:39 am) What was the final resolution to this problem? Did you get a new accelerator or PCM? I'm having the same issue, it's out of warranty.
