2006 Ford Freestar or 2006 Honda Odyssey?

I'm about to purchase a used vehicle.Im trying to get either an odyssey or a freestar. I'm thinking the odyssey is more but thats not an issue. I'm just looking for room and something that can handle long highway miles. Any suggestions

Odessey. The Freestar and the Windstar are unreliable pieces of junk. There's a reason why Ford and GM no longer make minivans.

  • Would a faulty water pump, on a 04 Ford Freestar, cause the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor to go bad? There's definite spray pattern on the underside of the hood from the water pump going. Could antifreeze have gotten into the fuel rail sensor and caused it to fault? Is it possible to clean the Fuel Rail Pressure sensor or any corrosion? Part is EXPENSIVE.
  • Should I learn to drive with a Ford Taurus or Honda Odyssey or it doesn't matter? I've asked this question before, but I made a mistake when it came to the cars. I took 4 hours of driving instruction driving a Ford Taurus, but I was just curious if I should buy more hours or just train with my dad with has a Honda Odyssey. I'm in my 30s, so I'm looking for mature answers. Would it be hard to learn on a larger sized vehicle? I drove it once, and it seemed all right. Any advice is appreciated. TIA
  • My 04' Ford Freestar's remote starter won't work? Just got the PCM replaced and programmed and now the aftermarket remote starter won't work. It locks the doors and dash lights come on like the ignition is on but won't start?
  • I have a 2006 Ford Freestar SEL? 2 weeks ago as I was driving I heard a blast of air then my van wouldnt go. It was still running but wouldnt kick in to gear so i coasted into an approach. I put it in park then reverse n each of the other gears but it wouldnt go. My husband checked the transmission fluid and level and said it was fine. Does this mean I need to replace the whole transmission?
