My 2006 ford freestar is cutting out when driving, also when you start it, it tends to drag like it is not getting gas.

check front drive axles

call the dealer, there prone to transmission failure. The 2006 Ford Freestar has 276 problems & defects reported by Freestar owners . The worst complaints are transmission, Good-Day! Is the transmission fluid ok!

Hi I'm Peter, Does the engine drag when it's trying to start? You could have a starter going out if it starts in the morning but it won't start back up after driving it a while but will start again after the engine is cool. I really need a little more detailed description as to what it is doing, It could even be the battery. Does it throw any codes? You may want to stop by an auto parts store and ask them if they can test your battery and perform a starter amperage draw test to see if the starter is drawing too much amperage (power) when trying to start it after it is hot.

Often times a vehicle sitting for an extended length of time with less than a full tank of gas will tend to condensate moisture from the air. This generally will accumulate at the top of the tank and virtually rain-shower down into the tank over time. Filling the tank with gas causes the water to intersperse with the gas but will eventually settle to the bottom as gas is lighter than water. You now have water in your fuel system and your gas tank where it will very soon start to rust creating all sorts of havoc with clogged fuel filters, etc. There are a couple of simple solutions to try first, try a very high concentration of isopropyl alcohol...hospital grad of 95% is best. This will bond with the water and combine with the gas to form a 'burnable' liquid. Since it sat so long, you may need to go a step further and try another pour-in solution such as Sea Foam.
If that fails, you may have clogged injectors which requires a bit more effort. There are injector cleaning kits that run about 100 and hook up to your fuel rail. Most of these inexpensive fixes will not remove rust debris from the very fine filter found atop an injector body.
Additionally, I am a bit concerned that you may be experiencing an electrical problem that is summarized in a recall post at: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.f1100c0/10. Long story short, start with the simple/cheap stuff (change out fuel, clean/replace fuel filter, etc.) then incrementally move toward the more complex/expensive. Good luck!

I had the exact same problem, if you don't fix it ,it will get worse and leave you stranded at the most unoportune times. the problem is your inertia switch which is located on the right side of your cargo area in the compartment that holds your emergency jack. this switch has a button that you can depress to overide it's designed function is to cut off your gas supply upon an impact.It have become too sensitive and has failed. I hope that this helps you.

Sounds like you have a squeaky wheel bearing. I would check them out.

1st gear migh be sliping bad.

You obviously have to get the wheels off &
look over the brakes, to eliminate them

We can't do that for you over the internet

Get involved then ask a question

could be clogged fuel filter or intake leak.

Most likely there is a wheel speed sensor that is throwing an erratic signal and making the system think you have lost traction, the system may have a trouble code stored, have it tested by your local Ford dealer to verify the trounle code.
