2006 Ford Freestyle Body and structure Problems

“Went for a state inspection in august. The car passed, however, the mechanic said the undercarriage had large amount of rust which could make passing in future years difficult. I finally had time to bring to body shop. On lift, mechanic showed me significant rust. Said he couldn't do anything and would be in thousands to fix. Car has approximately 59,900 miles and has been meticulously maintained. …”

“The driver side passenger door seal is faulty, letting water get into the door causing it to freeze and rust. The electrical for the driver heated seat keeps malfunctioning causing it to keep breaking. The levers that flip the second and third row seating have become faulty and will no longer work. Lastly, the all-wheel drive component on my vehicle stopped working while I was driving. It was during the winter and the roads were icy so it caused me to have less traction and fish tail.”

I immediately went to my local Ford dealer and the advisor there said that the recall has never been performed in my vehicle. …”

My wife has also had this happen to her on multiple occasion. I've read a number of similar complaints on the internet. I believe this vehicle should be recalled. …”

“We were at a stand still in traffic leading to the off ramp, a vehicle came speeding down the on ramp and by his own admission was not paying attention. He then rammed into the back of our vehicle and hit us so hard that it triggered a multi car crash, 6 vehicles in all. During repairs of the vehicle we were told that the engine was experiencing idle surge. It was also noted that this was not due to the vehicle accident. We paid out of pocket some 1,700.00 and we continue to have the same issues. The Ford dealership has not and will not correct the problem. …”
